Press release: 

Brainstatik to Perform Free Concert at New Hope Arts 

Stockton, NJ (Nov. 29, 2006) -- The instrumental progressive rock 
band Brainstatik will perform a free concert -- two full hours of 
all new improvisational "Holiday Music from Outer Space" -- on 
Sunday, December 17 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at the New Hope Arts 
building, corner of Bridge and Stockton Streets (upstairs) in New Hope, PA. There is no admission fee. 

Brainstatik features Stockton, NJ guitarist Robert Burger on guitar 
and guitar-synthesizer. Burger's solo project "The Gak Omek" has 
released two albums, The Return of the All-Powerful Light Beings 
(Fossil Records) and Alien Eye. Described as a progressive rock 
interpretation of ancient and modern mysteries, the Return of the 
All-Powerful Light Beingsâ is one of the most imaginative new 
offerings in the progressive rock (prog rock) style. Burger's style 
has been compared to Robert Fripp, Steve Hackett, David Torn, and 
Pat Metheny. The new CD takes cerebral music to a new level by 
incorporating majestic guitar playing, electronic percussion, and 
cosmic synth sounds. The Return of the All-Powerful Light Beings was 
voted one of the Top 20 Progressive Rock Albums of 2004 by 
Progressive Soundscapes Radio, Sea of Tranquility, Nucleus, and 
Radio Gnome. 

Mike Hunter of Trenton, NJ plays the 12-string Warr touch guitar and 
6-string electric with South Jersey based Irish traditional/ Celtic 
rock group The Stone Soup Band, as well as his solo ambient drone 
music under the "Ombient" moniker. His music has been described as 
ambient like the random symmetry of wind chimes, the sound of 
vehicles moving on some far distant highway, and the warm hum of 
high tension power lines. 

Glenn Robitaille, a resident of Dunellen, NJ plays acoustic and 
electronic drums. Glenn's style includes a love for odd time 
signatures, time changes, polyrhythms, and the pallet of sounds 
available through electronic drums. In previous lives he played 
drums for Solar Circus, The Callipygian Blues Band, and Gangster 
Clairvoyants. 

Jim Silvestri of Wood-Ridge, NJ has been playing bass for 30 years. 
Jim started his musical career with the classic rock band Rushlight 
in the late 70s. He also appeared with The John Michel Orchestra, 
The Stardreamers, The All Star Jazz Orchestra and was a founding 
member of the progressive rock band Ghosts on the Skyline. 

George Mahlberg lives in the Manayunk area of Philadelphia, PA. When 
not installing and training users of editorial publishing systems, 
he hosts a weekly radio program, Nocturnal Transmissions, on WPRB-FM 
103.3 in Princeton, or can be found simply sitting under the stars 
and pondering the vastness of the Cosmos. A multi-instrumentali st, 
George performs on a Chapman Stick Bass, sitar, Theremin, and his 
venerable BC 
Rich Eagle bass. 

Brainstatik will be joined by a very special guest Cyndee Lee Rule 
of Trevose, PA on violin. With her 5 string Viper Violin, Cyndee Lee 
Rule has performed with such legendary spacerock musicians as 
Hawkwind's Harvey Bainbridge and Gong's Tim Blake. She has toured in 
the UK and has performed at the famous Melkweg Club in Amsterdam. 
She also performs with Philly-area spacerock band Scattered Planets, 
and is working on tracks for Scattered Planets' upcoming CD, "Deep 
Space Psychosis". Cyndee has also collaborated through the internet 
with various artists, including Systems Theory and Space Mirrors. 
Steven Davies-Morris and Greg Amov of Systems Theory were very 
instrumental in the production of Cyndee's debut Viper album, 
UFOsmosis. 

Brainstatik co-founder Ken Palmer, an art director at Bloomberg and 
resident of Crosswicks, NJ plays synthesizers and serves as 
recording engineer for the band's music. He is the founder and host 
of the Cosmic Coffeehouse (www.cosmiccoffeehouse.org), a bi-monthly 
event in that showcases unique local musicians. He previously played 
keyboards and guitar in the bands E. Echo-K and Liquid Idiot. 

Robert J. Burger and Ken Palmer formed Brainstatik in 1995. For the 
past eleven years they've recorded and performed completely 
improvised and spontaneously composed instrumental music. Their 
sound has been influenced by everything from progressive rock, 
electronic, and world/ethnic music. For more information, visit 
www.brainstatik.com 

During the concert, attendees can view Works in Wood, a juried 
national exhibition featuring more than 125 pieces by 44 artists on 
display at New Hope Arts. The exhibition features sculpture, artist 
designed furniture and woodturnings by nationally and 
internationally recognized woodworkers such as Mira Nakashima of 
Nakashima Studios, Phillip Lloyd Powell, Jeffrey Greene and artists 
from as far away as California.
