10/1/05, Miami, Florida, The Multimedia Group BlackShiftRed founded
by Aislinn Quinn, Adam Rush and Enrique Jardines in 2005,
presented a project on 9/29/05 to the Miami Performing Center (MPAC)
for funding and performance consideration. Blackshift Red consists
of core members from the band Absolute Zero and was founded to
concentrate on the multimedia production and collaborative
aspirations of the band.

Absolute Zero will be performing the music for this production named
The Dew of Repentance. The members of Absolute Zero are: Aislinn
Quinn, Phil Miller, Pip Pyle and Enrique Jardines. All members will
participate fully on the compositional and performance aspects of
The Dew of Repentance. BlackShiftRed will be the umbrella for this
project under which Absolute Zero will perform.

According to the MIami Herald article by reporter Fred Tasker
released on 9/30/05, described The Dew of Repentance as follows:

" This ultra - high tech presentation spends the week before the
performance asking South Florida residents to use their celphones to
call or send text messages about their regrets aspirations and plans
for the future. At the performance the messages are communicated by
sound and print to the sounds of music, while an on stage puppet
urges the audience to call in more regrets and aspirations. The
outcome is taken on the road to gather other cities reaction which
finally are brought back to Miami as collective of global thought."

The Dew of Repentance project was accepted by MAPC on 9/30/05 and
the first production meeting is scheduled for October. There is an
anticipated premiere in Miami at MPAC followed by a global tour and
a final performance in Miami integrating the experiences of the tour.
Absolute Zero will continue work with visual artist Adam Rush who
has worked with the band in past concerts and projects. Adam will
continue to work on the band's DVD project 'Noicons" that will
include videos and music from the Crashing Icons sessions. The band
is also working and planning their next CD Redemption Radar.

Work on The Dew of Repentance is expected to commence after the
funding and production aspects of this multi media composition are
addressed. The time lines for all Absolute Zero projects will be
dependant on the implementation schedule by MPAC and BlackShiftRed
in staging The Dew of Repentance production.
