The Drone Forest project was initiated by Ian C. Stewart in the year

2002 when he requested electronic audio files from Michael J.

Bowman, C. Reider and Davie Blint. Mr. Stewart then used these files

to create several long pieces of experimental music, which he set to

avideotape of stark Winter trees.

In the Spring of 2003, Drone Forest became active as a collaborative

effort.

Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Northern Valentine

is an experimental ambient / post-rock group that consists of

husband and wife, Robert and Amy Brown, and a host of

multi-instrumental musicians who join them from time to time.

With a wide range of musicians collaborating with them, a typical

Northern Valentine live show often features band members

switching instruments several times during the performance.
