Matthew Probst (MC MelloCello)
electric cello

Deposited in the woods of Park Ridge, WI, by aliens from Yendor. Corrupted a perfectly
good higher education at the University of Eau Claire by mingling James Brown with the sacred arts
of Brahms and Knuth. Holds dual allegiance to the learned Knights of the Network and the ashram
of Maharaja Sri Harrington, whose arcane mastery of improvisation and homebrew is well-known.
Mostly harmless, though given to fits of maniacal laughter as he bends both computer and cello to
his inscrutable will. Hopes to overcome the twisted overlords of society with knowledge, music, and
lots of slack.
