ORIGIN
****************************************************************
The project "Spacecraft" was born in 1996 after a listening session of NASA image and sound mappings from the Voyager space probe. Tony Gerber and John Rose were so inspired by these recordings, they programmed a new palette of sounds for their synthesizers, triggered from these listening sessions. Next, they called on the talents of Chris Blazen and Diane Timmons to join them for several recording sessions that emerged as the self-titled CD, "Spacecraft". Spacecraft's music is improvisational in nature. Each concert they do is different. Gerber, Rose and Timmons are the core members of the project. However, from time to time you will see different musician's collaborating with this space trio. Giles Reaves is a recurring member as well. .

JOHN ROSE
****************************************************************
John Rose is a composer working out of Lexington, Kentucky. Rose and Gerber have worked together for several years doing live radio, outdoor festivals, art openings and planetarium performances. John has been a pioneer of electronic music in Kentucky since the 1970s. He continues to work on solo recordings and works with other artists throughout the south. He is a music teacher when he is not performing or working with other bands.
****************************************************************
John Rose’s music is created primarily from his own experiences, what he calls “life’s soundtracks”. He utilizes elements from his diverse musical background, which includes early music (especially the Medieval and pre-Renaissance era), Baroque (owing to his direct musical lineage to J.S. Bach through oral teaching tradition), Middle Eastern Music, Gregorian chant, traditional Celtic and Appalachian music, and experimental electronic music.
****************************************************************
Music and musicians who are of interest to John Rose are J.S. Bach, Arvo Part, Tangerine Dream, Dead Can Dance, Gregorian chant, Cantigas de Santa Maria, Alan Stivell, Morton Subotonic, John Jacob Niles, Debussy, and Chopin. He considers Nature and Silence to be the foundation of all music.
****************************************************************
John’s music is timeless and pensive, interwoven with images of nature, expressive rhythms, deep space pulses, and industrial ambience. Other compositions contain intricate piano passages dancing across waves of geometric ostinatos.
****************************************************************
“Music is structured in silence and has its foundations in the rhythm of nature, out of which springs the language of humanity and reflections of the energy of life. I wish to express this to the listener through my music.”

DIANE TIMMONS
****************************************************************
Diane has been a keyboard musician her whole life.At age 4, she asked for piano lessons, and performing has been a way of life ever since; her first solo stage appearance was in first grade. She also recieved early training in voice, which was also an introduction to meditation and stilling the mind. In college, she continued her vocal study and choral singing while obtaining a degree in Linguistics from the University of Kentucky. During that time she sang with the small elite vocal ensemble New Voices, and was a soloist with numerous university productions, including operatic, musical theater, and solos with an orchestra. Diane performed at Renaissance fairs with Mountain musician Carla Gover(of Berea, Kentucky) during the summers while in college, and they continue to collaborate. She is called upon to do studio work of various types, but has always preferred live performance.
****************************************************************
"Space music allows for even more live expression in performance because so little of it is pre-ordained. The "space" in the music is the doorway for a deeper soul exchange between the performer and the audience. And it is the
job of the performer to create enough space inside, enough receptivity, for something to come through unencumbered by the various thoughts one might have."
****************************************************************
Even more than her voice, Diane has always been known for her ear. In her choral music experiences, she was given difficult inner parts to sing because she could find her way through the most challenging of harmonies with ease. This required not only a good sense of pitch but a "feel" for the subtle overtones of harmonic matching. She now puts her ear to work designing new sounds and composing on-the-fly with Spacecraft. Diane has a deep and abiding love of nature, and has for many years pursued natural healing as a strong interest. She gardens organically and gave
birth to both of her children at home.
****************************************************************
"Performing with Spacecraft allows me to express the way I feel about nature. We compose and improvise using nature's rhythms, sometimes slow, evolving almost imperceptively, at other times changing without warning into something dramatic and terrifying, yet again emerging with innocent fragility. Never the same twice, nature is still a presence to count on, the rhythms continuing and evolving. "
