In 1997, Mike Min (b. 1972) was discharged from the US Army. Between 1998 and 2000, he released three independent CD's: Popollution (1998), At Chateau Dunbar (1999, under the auspices of Halogen Orange), and The Aberdeen Transplant (2000). All three failed commercially and critically. Outside of some private flute lessons and some audio engineering courses at the UW, Min has had no formal music education. In 2000, he interned with composer Guy Whitmore, contributing mostly in adminutiae, but eventually partnering with Whitmore to found Music Design Network in 2001. Min then left MDN in 2003 because of his egregious ineptitude. He has scored for films and, for a brief period until its inevitable demise, IgooTV employed Min as its resident composer. Mike Min is a member of the Seattle Composers Alliance and serves as the Vice President of Sound Currents. Mike Min cries at night and sometimes during lunch. |

A daily two hour regimen of The Way Of The Intercepting Fist has assisted Korby Sears (b. 1969) in keeping his inner Orson Welles at bay. It has succeeded on both counts. Korby attended the University of North Texas as a composition major, studying under Thomas Clark and Cindy McTee, with an instrumental concentration in organ performance. He has created original music and sound design for video games (Xbox, Enix, Sierra, Ubisoft), casual games (Odyssey Entertainment), and children’s games and toys (Cranium, Becker & Mayer), as well as several angst-ridden indie films and theater pieces. The 12-step certificate on the wall proves he is a recovering Board Member (as you are never really a “former” Board Member), having served as the Vice-President of the Seattle Composers Alliance, the Secretary of Sound Currents, a Member-at-Large of neighborhood review boards in North Bend, Preston and West Seattle, Press Secretary of countless organizations, and the President of a planned-obsolescence pop disaster music combo (where the project ended efficiently under-budget and 14 months under-schedule). Korby blew his misanthropy wad in his youth, and runs mostly on the fumes of revenge against three key people (you know who you are). Korby has loved Jesus: Jesus has loved him. They remain friends.

Gay people love Liza Keckler (b. 1975). They love her name and they love her sass. As a senior television producer for Screaming Flea Productions, she has helmed shows like "Tool Belt Diva", "Have Fork Will Travel", "Move This House", and "Give Me My Money, Bitch". She has ins with the Food Network, Discovery Channel, and the CIA. She wears a bite plate to bed, just like Donald Rumsfeld. And also like Rumsfeld, she brings the hammer on all silly brown people. This is why she started painting - to bring the pain to the browns. Painting, like all art disciplines, led to degenerate debauchery and self absorbed obsession. Ask her about when she partied with the Stones at the Four Seasons. Liza is totally gay for the Stones. Gay people love Liza. |
