Chris Lynch is a lifelong Minneapolis based music maker, and a lover of obscure art, music and literature. His life changed for the better when he read “Songs in the Key of Z”, and discovered Atlas Press and the London Institute of Pataphysics. He is the ringleader, composer and pianist for the Dust of Suns neoclassical quintet.

He fiercely loves his wife Hannah and son Mick and makes music and art exactly how he wants to. He has a day job.

Since she was very young, two things have consistently served as sources of comfort, inspiration, and spiritual sustenance for Hannah: music and photography.

Hannah has worked as a photographer for over 20 years. She has also been a music nerd since she can remember, working in local record stores and dabbling in songwriting and recording with Chris. For her, collaborating with others to bring visual art and oddball musical interests to life within dada Duende is a dream come true!

Luca has spent many of his earthbound days searching for shiny objects.  Having found promising veins of creativity in Minneapolis, he brought his dune buggy to rest there.

Luca brings an unconventional, if not arrestingly naïve perspective to art.  He loves music, bleep-bloop sounds, paintings and horror films.

His rekindled adoration for the beautiful game has at times rendered him speechless — to wit, he lives with a constant sense of foreboding as he awaits the return of Everton FC to the top of the table.

Luca lives in Minneapolis with visual artist Kit Wilson, and their three extraordinary children.

Steve is a member of legendary Minneapolis band, The Suburbs, and one of a select few A-list musicians in the Minneapolis music scene. His long and winding music career, golden ear, and success as an engineer/producer/music educator and Geffen recording artist make him an invaluable member of the dada Duende collective. Also, he is a total mensch, and he “gets it” when it comes to working with eclectic, off-the-beaten-track musicians and artists.

Steve calls South Minneapolis home. There, he produces records and lives with his beautiful family.
