Station Rose/STR was founded in Vienna, Austria, in 1988 by Elisa Rose (visuals) and Gary Danner (sound) as an open media lab, after Rose and Danner had graduated from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.
On from the beginning their activities spanned from art production, exhibitions, DVD-, CD-, CD ROM- and vinyl productions, to research (on Virtual Realities, in cooperation with the Austrian Ministry of Science and Research), lectures and performing.
As one of the first artist-groups Station Rose has used the possibilities of interactive media and especially of the internet in their work. Performances and lectures in art galleries, universities and museums are equally important as performances at media festivals and in the clubscene.
Equipped with computers, STR was doing field-research in Cairo, Egypt, as a post-graduate grant in 1988/89.
At the end of the eighties, STR started their Gunafa Clubbings in Vienna & Frankfurt, the first audio-visual online-clubevents worldwide, playing sounds & visuals in realtime. In 1991 they moved to Frankfurt, and went online at the same time.
They won Prix Ars Electronica 1995, Honorable Mention.
Since 1999 STR webcasts live at http://www.stationrose.com, performing live@home. 2002-2006 they had a regular TV show at hr-fernsehen/ARD Digital called "Best of Webcasting". The audio-visual STR "Koechelverzeichnis" consists of 31 hours now = so far 31 episodes (31 hours of audio-visual art) have been produced, as one of the rare media art projects on TV. The "Digital Archive of Station Rose" has been expanding ever since 1988.
Station Rose has released on its own label Gunafa, on Sony Music, ZYX Music, Mille Plateaux, edition selene, International Deejay Gigolo Records, Crippled Dick Hot Wax.

Almost Tomorrow is the third full length collaboration album from Section 27 Netlabel founders Tam Ferrans and Andrew Paterson, under their Nonima & theAudiologist guise. This time around the sound is more melodic, and has a definite feeling of a complete and more mature sound than heard on the previous LP's "Dystopian Battle Hymns" and "Ceremony After Amputation". If you are familiar with their individual projects you may even be in for a slight surprise, as the tracks are not as beat driven like before, but are more atmospheric and sound, well... "bigger". In its 75 minutes, Almost Tomorrow takes you on a trip from the digital rain-soaked cavernous scraping in "Thoughtograph", the ethereal beat jittering of "The Colour of Rain", intercepted transmissions from unknown places in "Com-Intercept", "Ganzfeld"s huge yet strangely insect-like beats until everything you knew comes crashing around you in "Almost Tomorrow". Burning pianos, glitched out soundscapes and intricately programmed beatplay, this may well be their best work to date. Consider it the soundtrack to a rainy overcast day, but with just that glimmer of sunshine peeking from the clouds. "Almost Tomorrow" wears its heart on its sleeve.
Yo Station Roseasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
