What are we celebrating?

August 15, 2008 marks the one year anniversary of the 8.0 earthquake
that devastated the Pisco region of Peru and the final day of Burners
Without Borders' incredibly successful nine month reconstruction
program in Peru. The schools that are being built, the opportunities
BWB has created for Peruvians to build permanent homes, and the
hundreds of other projects volunteers have spearheaded have been
realized by over 300 selfless volunteers who have graciously donated
their time and energy to this amazing reconstruction effort.

But, none of this would have been possible without the support of
YOU, the larger community, who has contributed over $80,000 thus far
to BWB's reconstruction efforts in Peru. Visit
http://www.burnerswithoutborders.org to see what we've been up to and how
your hard earned money has been put to use. Be sure to check out the
BWB Blog to read about the projects through the words of the volunteers.

Band and DJ Bios

***Alorahset

Alorahset is an experimental/indie/hip hop/idm project produced by
Bay Area native, Matthew Miller. Alorahset has played with such acts
as Flying Lotus, Machine Drum, Anasia, Flight Orchestra, and The
Mess. Alorahset's eclectic sound ranges from danceable to moments of
crescendos that push one to drift away in an ambient daze. Look for
his first CD release, 'Good Morning Sunrise To You' coming soon. In
the meantime, check him out at http://www.myspace.com/alorahset. When not
working with Alorahset, can be found drumming for the bay area based
alt post rock band Cloud Archive, and guitar and laptop for the
dance-oriented electronic rock band, Newblue (http://www.myspace.com/
thebandknownasnublue), as well as supporting non-profits doing
important work like Burners without Borders.

***Vow3L Movement

Bryan Von Reuter has been composing on and developing
free opensource music software for about as long as
the concept has existed. His music is rooted in the
Amiga / Commodore64 chiptune scene of the mid 1990's.
He is currently exploring the relationships of (and
the space between) meticulously programmed sequences
and spontaneous improvisational freakouts.

***doctor booty

doctor booty is a remix artist/dj on a mission of healing using the
power of the Funk. through a combination of old school Funk tracks,
newfangled mixing techniques, and live improvised keyboard parts, the
doctor creates a sonic elixir designed to free the hearts, minds, and
asses of soul seekers everywhere.

****Megs

Meghan Rutigliano is an actress, comedienne and chanteuse and also a
member of the Burners Without Borders community. She will deck the
House of Shields out with her jazzy vocal stylings.
