Jessica Styler has studied and performed classical music for 15 years, with a major in voice performance in college. She first heard the Hang (pronounced 'hung') in 2005 and changed her life in order to take a trip to the PANArt Company in Berne, Switzerland, where the Hang is made. The HANG is the result of a marriage between art and science, for it births a new dimension of musical instrument creation, a vibrationally based instrument that can individually create an acoustic cathedral of sound. At the Hangbauhaus, Jessica participated in the inspired process of finding the Hang that resonated with her. She has been recording and performing since that day. Aside from singing opera and playing the Hang, Jessica also plays the Ukulele, Piano, Shruti Box and Crystal Bowls.
Aharon Wheels Bolsta has enjoyed performing with Jessica on Tabla, Calabash, Bansuri, and Frame Drum since 2007. Aharon has studied classical Indian Tabla under the guidance of Swapan Chaudhuri and Bansuri Flute with Ali Akbar Khan at AACM for more than 15 years. He performs and records his Flutes, Tabla, and Middle-Eastern percussion with the Fishtank Ensemble, Khi Darag, Rumen Shopov, and many others. In 2009, Aharon toured with the SF Mime Troupe and in 2010 performed in Brazil with the International Body Music Festival. Aharon has rhythmic and vocal training in Hindustani Tabla and singing, Balinese kotekan (interlocking rhythmic technique) and Kecak, Turkish and Balkan rhythms, and much more. www.rhythmwheels.com
