XOR grew up on rave and dance music, but wishes to transcend the mindless "oonce oonce oonce." of the dance floor. Take elements of Techno, House, Drum & Bass and breathe in some pop sensibility. It's the exit of Rave. XOR was formed when Singer Hillary Ann and producer Brian Liston met at the prompting of mutual friends. They laid out a plan for an album on their first meeting. Hillary Ann had a mountain of lyrics to match Liston's stack of beats. Their styles blended easily as their musical influences were similar in Madonna, Massive Attack, Aphex Twin and Moby.
		Hillary Ann grew up in Alaska singing Eskimo folk music and imitating TV commercials. Mom could understand the Folk Music, but the TV commercials drove her mad. She was steered toward voice lessons and competitions to fend off the Oscar Meyer theme. Hillary Ann eventually wound up in Madison Wisconsin where she became a staple in the local Jazz club circuit. She currently attends University of Wisconsin in Madison and studies fine art. Hillary Ann is easily recognized on the dance floor by her ever-present bright red shoes.
	Brian ”Cheetah EL“ Liston is a Madison area Producer and Audio Engineer. Liston grew up in a musical family of a Band Conductor and Piano Teacher.
