Max Pfetscher & Ali Raini: tonelabs
The tonelabs duo was founded in 2005 by Ali Reza Raini and Max Pfetscher to realise creative audiovisual projects. Every project is unique and has its own vision and focus — mostly realised using music, sound design, images or a performance. The different projects showcase the versatility and the scope of tonelabs. Themed under the motto: Music is not just a combination of sounds but a lifestyle "gathering open minds — one beat at a time".
Max is a sound designer and music composer and the owner of Noizefield.com. He is focused on new technology, electronic music, visual art and loves synthesisers.
Ali is also a sound designer and music composer. In his own projects like apoplexymusic, his emphasis belongs to soundtracks, world music and new ages styles.

British composer Steve Buick uses electronics, twisted FX, massive beats, orchestral instruments and the gravity of the Sun to create his sound. His work has been licensed to theatrical campaigns for MGM, Paramount and Universal as well as to major TV shows and promos worldwide for CBS, Fox, BBC, ESPN, Discovery and many more.
He was front man and writer in underground band One Lady Owner, the last band signed to legendary UK record label Creation (Oasis, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine) with a critically-acclaimed album and 3 singles. This was followed by projects with world famous producers Flood and Alan Moulder (U2, Depeche Mode, Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters).
He also creates music as background to reading books via his company Evokescape.com. Besides producing long soundscapes for reading sic-fi, horror and thrillers, he works with such names as Peter F Hamilton and Neal Asher, bringing musical atmospheres to their best-selling novels.

John has been writing, playing and recording (melodic) electronic music (EM) since the early 1980s, but was always a fan of music in general prior to that, especially ‘The Shadows’ and melodic orchestral music. He is a self-taught musician and it never fails to amaze him how so many folks love what he does!
After various incarnations, the first of which was with David Ward-Hunt as ‘Wavestar’ who he met in 1982-3, and who made quite a name for themselves after their first ‘live’ concert in Sheffield in 1985, he has continued to be a popular composer and artist as an individual in the EM field, with the help of his many friends both in the UK, Europe and around the world.
Currently he is about to move home once more (2016) back to his hometown of Sheffield in the UK, so the ‘next’ album is now on hold as the studio is obviously all packed away!

Born in the year that NASA first landed on the moon, Stan got involved in music as a teenager through creating mixtapes of his favourite music. As a child of the 80s, the music of this decade (especially the 12 inch versions!) was formative for Stan. Songs by Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Propaganda, Depeche Mode, ELO and Queen accompanied him throughout these years. During this time Stan also developed a love of soundtracks and electronic music. Listening to Vangelis and Kitaro, James Horner, Jan Hammer and, later on, Hans Zimmer, had a huge impact on his music.
Besides making his own tracks, since 2009 Stan has worked with artists from Germany, the UK, the US and Austria (to name just a few) to produce collaborations, jingles and remixes. Stan’s fascination for astronomy shines in his music. Many impressions flow through his chilled, ambient sounds: the depth of space, the unknown frontier which has yet to be explored, and nature itself as an unbeatable creator of beauty.
After visiting ESO during our Open House Day in 2017, it was agreed that Stan would produce the soundtrack for one of the planetarium shows of the ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre. Working with ESO and providing us with music is a great honour for him. Every song is a story which wants to be told — and Stan Dart hopes you like his stories!
