Ak'chamel
Honed and expanded through their travels; Ak'chamel, the giver of illness forge a singular sound of desert-scorched psychedelia. Fictitious post-apocalyptic shamanism, and impish ritual folk - as unique as the physical theater of their live performances.
For over fifteen years they have released dozens of casettes, several vinyl records, and a handful of cryptic VHS tapes. The trio remains veiled in mystery, yet they tour often - bringing their plague into the ravaged heart of the world.

Derek Monypeny
Born in the Arizona desert, a veteran of multiple explorations into the Sahara via Morocco and Western Sahara, and now a resident of the Mojave, Derek Monypeny sees his musical mission as adding to and expanding on what he calls the "desert continuum;" the psychedelic sirocco swirl of desert-based stringed instruments played with utter abandon by musicians the world over.
Derek is a former member of the bands Oaxacan (Oakland, CA), ALTO! (Portland, OR), and Sir Richard Bishop's Freak Of Araby Ensemble. In addition to his solo work, he has an ongoing duo project with Bryan Hillebrandt, OAE (Oakland Afternoon Ensemble). He has performed and toured with artists such as Bill Orcutt, Mike Watt, Jozef van Wissem, Lau Nau, Arrington de Dionyso, and many others.
