ctephin is StF, Aedria and Kaylan- as its core. StF makes noise, field recordings, plays various circuit bent toys or machines and the exercise drumaline. Aedria constructs/deconstructs, plays the "vibraphone", mechanisms from machines with contact mics, autoharp, and uses field recordings. Kaylan constructs/deconstructs and supplies poetry and attitude.
The ctephin family orchestra includes: StF, Aedria, Kaylan, Kelci, Tirzah, Sarah, Simone, Ninah and Laylah- our seven children. We include the children's friends on occasion. The children make lots of noise, Sarah and Simone do pounding, and construct stories. Tirzah plays the recorder. Kelci plays the trumpet, violin, and keyboard/synths. Ninah plays the synth, the screams and tantrums. Laylah is a budding percussionist.
Kaylan does her usual deconstruction, and adds poetry and stories. We parents usually just mix and edit what the children construct, if it is ever needed.
Other NEW members of ctephin are Rebecca of Anti-clock records, Gauge
, and Hellga.

ctephin is the first project of the Umbrella Noize Collective. We are based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma USA. Our music has been called "harsh ambient", Noise light, drone, "beyond trance". We have many projects under construction, and are always looking for new musicians for The Umbrella Noize Collective, and for projects to do splits/collabs with.
