HELENA ESPVALL started to play electric guitar as a bored teenager in northern Sweden, and went on to take cello lessons and was never bored again. After having played in rock bands, a silent movie orchestra, an arabian ensemble and being inspired to play free improvised music by a shocking Eugene Chadbourne performance, she moved to the US in 2000,where she spends much of her time collaborating with dancers, playing with folk psych band Espers and singing bossa nova and swedish traditional songs.

Growing up in Davis, California and Tucson, Arizona, JONATHAN SEGEL went to college at UCSC in Santa Cruz, CA where he studied under Peter Elsea and experimental music pioneer Gordon Mumma. In Santa Cruz he hooked up with Camper Van Beethoven, apparently for life. He moved to San Francisco, CA in 1989, where he worked with many bands including his own Hieronymus Firebrain and Jack & Jill, moved to Los Angeles in 1997 to work for Dane Davis at Danetracks, a film sound post production facility, then back to Oakland, CA in 2001, where received a Master's Degree in Music Composition at Mills College, studying with Fred Frith, Pauline Oliveros, Alvin Curran and Joelle Leandre.

BIG CITY ORCHESTRA is a long running, art/anti-art group based generally in California-USA, with an ever rotating cast of musician and non-musician members. Formed in 1979 as a house band for network of artist residences in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. Almost comedically prolific, BCO sailed through the cassette culture movement of the 1980's and 90's with about 130 hour-long releases on over 100 labels. The current formation of BCO is based in the SF/Oakland area of Northern California.
