MV Carbon is a Brooklyn based interdisciplinary artist. Her work is comprised of live performance, installation, projection, music and sculpture. She aims to transform space with the use of projection, audio and sculptural environments. Her intention is to provoke an extrasensory awareness through warping the boundaries of time and space. She endorses a fluid exchange between the spectator and the art form and often calls for interaction. She works to transcend the limitations of categorization and to contrive an ongoing sense of attainability. Embracing a non-traditional approach to music, she plays tape machines, stringed instruments, gongs, amplified objects, electronics and crafted instruments. Her current work explores interchangeability, the human mechanism, perceptive states of consciousness, and the empirical force of nature.
Carbon has solo LP releases on Ecstatic Peace (2010), and Discomboulate (2016).She also is one half of the long withstanding experimental electronic duo Metalux , who has releases on Load, Hanson, 5RC, Veglia, and No Fun.

With the release of that seven inch, it marked the beginning of the Private Sector as "Secret Servant of the Private Sector".In 2008 SSPS again transforms itself into the Saccharine Sister of the Pyramid Snake, and again in 2010 with the Savage Society Private Sector. Jon is also a member of EXCEPTER.

SLIKI is Slisco and Viki. Hailing from Miami, they have been huffing hard on the city’s bass frequencies, long drives in heavy traffic, and whatever else washes up from the ocean. Live actions commenced when they noticed that the film The Versace Murder, a made for Italian television movie chronicling the 1997 killing spree of Andrew Cunanan that culminated in the shooting death of fashion designer Giannni Versace at his Miami Beach home, was released in the US completely stripped of soundtrack. The duo decided that it would be their mission to continuously imagine the missing soundtrack as a series of live performances and recordings, sometimes accompanied by the film itself or other associated artifacts generated by the artists. The SLIKI project, long paused due to Slisco and Viki leaving Miami and engaging in lesser endeavors, has recently been reactivated.
