Colleen de Winton

Born in New Zealand, based in Byron Bay.As a child,Colleen had a deep desire to be onstage as a performer but started relatively late (27) before realising this dream. She worked with a number of bands doing covers material and her passion led her to Europe in 1989 where after joining a blues band she found herself winning a bands competition in France with a subsequent inpouring of offers from European recording labels. Unable to take up these offers due to the birth of her son Kalin, meant she spent over ten years doing solo shows and duo acts around New Zealand and Australia and a national tour of New Zealand in a five women comedy show entitled "Exposed". Colleen discovered she had a gift for storytelling, comedy and movement and developed a number of shows to display these skills.Onstage she is a pivotal prescence holding audiences spellbound with a voice that switches from soothing to soaring, one moment relating a mystical story then the next moment achieving thrilling volume and emotion. Colleen's current band is called Ionnah. See the seven piece Ionnah performing' Breathing' on Youtube.

	Rivulets- Instrumental composition inspired by the sound of rain in the forest
	Gamelan Bop - souped up gamelan with violin from Morris across the road.
	Eurotrain - all aboard the TGV across foreign borders at midnight. Vocal version coming.
	Robo Mole - This was a dance piece. Try it out.

Mike Moczulewski

Stephen Russell

In 2001 I started working with Mike and Steve from Red Candle. Mike and I met in the forum attached to IUMA and started trading files.

Mike and Steve had already collaborated in this fashion on an album called 'Arrhythmia" producing the single 'Skew'.

Mike would send me sketched vocals and piano of his songs and I arranged them using Acid Pro, Soundforge and live samples. I would send these back to him so he could redo the vocals to the sometimes completely different tempos I had invented for his songs. There would be a few more mails back and forth between us and then Mike would send them to Steve in Bristol to 'embed' the vocal sound and do an overall polish ( as by then my capacity to 'hear' it was exhausted!)
These are two of the fully completed tracks from the Red Candle project. The songs for this album were written by Mike Moczulewski from Wisconsin USA, arranged by me, then given a final mix by Stephen Russell in Bristol UK. This whole album was produced through emails and mp3 files.We had nine of the ten songs on the album, and I had completed all the arrangements when the tragedy of Sept. 11 caused a temporary cessation of creativity in the band's pivotal member, Mike.I included them here as a testimony to the creativity and high quality of the group's work together, andI am happy to report that this project has now finally been completed !Along the way we have changed our name , twice- we were 'Dream Out Loud' there for about a year.Then Mike changed the name yet again to " The Signal Hybrid".
