NMM comprises of the songwriting partnership of Yin Ly and David Desantos. Together they have fused a classic emotional evocative wall of sound which touches and explores the outer reaches of punk, electronica and rock..n..roll. Singer Yin Lys iconoclastic performance can only be imitated but never copied. This singer has to be seen and heard to be believed. Multi- instrumentalist David Desantos underpins and cajoles the NMM sound with his uncompromising musicianship.

Lionel Marchetti was born in France in 1967. His interest in music resides in the qualities of sound. He is one of a handful of artists who in the mid-to-late 1990s took electroacoustic music out of academic studios and into the free improvisation ring. A scholar who worked at the CFMI (Lyon) and GRM (Paris) studios and published a book on acousmatic composer Michel Chion, Marchetti developed a set-up of microphones and loudspeakers he uses on stage along with tape recorders, prepared CDs, motors and radios.

Francis Plagne is a Melbourne-based musician and songwriter whose work engages with both popular and experimental music.

Black To Comm is an alias for Dekorder label owner Marc Richter's audio excursions. Richter creates his music using scratchy shellac and vinyl records, field recordings, a so called "kitchen gamelan," and more traditional instruments like organs, guitars, pianos and mbiras. The layering and hypnotic repetition of short loops from Psychedelia, Free Jazz, Vaudeville, and various other old recordings reveals alternative melodic dimensions not apparent in the source material.
