Colin Devlin is an Irish songwriter who has crafted unforgettable soundscapes for over a decade. The world has shifted since this Irish singer and songwriter released his acclaimed solo debut Democracy of One in 2010, but his approach to finely crafted music remains steadfast, with warm arrangements and timely lyrics about exploring the darkness and light of human relationships. Devlin first earned his reputation for atmospheric songs and nuanced vocals during the 1990s and early 2000s, when his band The Devlins received four stars from Rolling Stone and placed songs in more than a dozen films and TV shows. After the success of his first solo album, Devlin won “Best Irish Male” at the Meteor Music Awards in 2010 and co-wrote several tracks on Janiva Magness’s 2016 album Love Wins Again, which earned him a Grammy nomination.

 Jack Van Zandt is an Irish American composer of music for concerts, film and television living in Los Angeles whose music has been greatly influenced by physical science, astronomy and mathematics, as well as the history of science. In his etudes for solo viola, "Stoicheia," he set out to incorporate principles of the classical elements into musical depictions of them. Describing the aether in music was the one that was most special to the composer personally because of his lifelong interest in flight and space travel, and everything to do with the study of the cosmos. In composing "Aether," Van Zandt aimed to create a musical space and context that had the qualities of the element, including the spiritual aspect. This was accomplished by designing music that lent itself to being processed by electronic means in a live concert performance in order to place it in a multi-dimensional space.
