Drummer/sequencer Dale W. Miller and free bassist Tony Gordon created per and its alterego pow respectively in hopes of exploiting the duo's ability to destroy and rebuild music in two separate visions.

per is the electronic-based project structured around the sampling of Tony's Freebass playing and Dale's live kit/v-drums, keyboard, sampler and sequencer performance. Imagine free noise looped with a melodic sense in mind and structured with passionate vocals. Look for the upcoming Self records release featuring vocalist Calluna Vulgaris.

Pow is complete without structure. Formed from the wreckage of freenoise ensemble CHARLIE PARKER and trio TO.DA.MA, pow finds Tony (bass) and Dale (drumkit) along with special guest choosing to improvise freely. Self described as "swimming up stream and every so often locking up causing the listener to fly backwards, downstream." Look for their Self records release coming late 2000 featuring performances from their May 4th and October 9th Knitting Factory (NYC) shows.
