Born in Idaho, raised in New Jersey, Alumni to a midwestern U. Cali-transplant Vancouver resident. A true jack of all nerves, art cutter, freezer of voice, sampler, banger of keyboards, pill burner, hermetic independent music making, friend maker, part-time propmaster, good learner, catman, and ref-poet for life. Tools: Synth, sampler, treatments, voice and words. Group affiliations: Subtle, Themselves, cLOUDDEAD, Greenthink, 13&God
Illinois native, Cali resident. Sample based, drum machine lover or pick-apart/put back together record thief. In the wild you may see him triggering drums and sounds live with other musicians in rhythm. On any hi-fi stereo system you may hear his sequencing of these very same drums and sounds in a fashion he is usually pleased with. Tools: Drum machine and many a sampled sound. Group affiliations: Subtle, Themselves, 13&God, JEL
Born in San Diego on New Year's Eve '73 (not close to midnight). Raised a drummer's son and mammas boy. Moved to Berkeley in 96 with Dax and conglomerates. Self-taught guitar and computer while rotting in record stores. Made two solo records along the way. Hosted Subtle's initialization and inaugural recordings at 1820 Alcatraz.
Tools: Drums, guitar, sampler, treatments, and voice
Born in 1970 in the West. Music junkie to a fault. Came to Oakland in 1996 with Jordan in a previous band. Collaborated with Alex in 1998, then with Alex and Marty in 1999 on live music performances to early classic films. Joined Themselves touring ensemble with Adam and Jeff in 2002. Currently residing in Oakland.
Currently exploring the recording of voice, throat, harmonica, some mouth percussion, synth and sampling. Melodica and Auto-Harp on Subtle tracks before the accident.
I'm a Southern man with no accent. My cello's my best friend. I feel safer in theaters and love climbing ladders. I'm good with a rope. I helmsman'd the film biz for live performance and like any good sperm, i love swimming up-stream. I root for choice over destiny and pick savory over sweet any day.

Tool meets P.M.Dawn, but with an excited Ice-T doing vocals...
Since its genesis in 2001, Oakland-based sextet Subtle has been home-recording its way to the far side of song. Drawing from a diverse palette of instruments: sampler, synth, guitar, cello, winds, electronic and acoustic drums, and the unmistakable voice and prose of doseone, the band fashions a self-sampled and live-micd honest to genreless music.
Not to be missed, their live performance parallels and elaborates on the complex and natural lengths of their recorded material. With painted backdrops, stage-props and a whole lot of middleclass mojo, it is in the midst of live performance that Subtles works of song complete themselves.
