He continues to refine the instrument while approaching sound and music from a contemporary-art-based perspective.

Mike Hunt
There are at least two known uses of the clever moniker "Mike Hunt": 1. A grindcore outfit from Newcastle, Australia, who recorded one album in 2001. Members Drew, Drizen and Metal Steve have since parted ways, and are working on other musical endeavors. 2. A pseudonym of Patrick Sky.

Daniel Lee Kendall
"Daniel Lee Kendall (DLK) did not plan for this. But it is the unexpected beginning to this story that is characteristic of DLK’s understated allure. It is quite simple really; after an evening spent drinking wine and enjoying the company of fine friends and fine musicians alike, Daniel penned a song. After lengthy toils in the seclusion of DLK studios (his bedroom) the best and only thing there was to do was share. Share with friends and strangers alike, these songs of hope and heartbreak. Listeners; prepare to be mesmerised, and taken on a very special journey indeed.
