Though some members have been temporarily replaced when unavailable for recording or performing, the group consists of:

* Phil Durrant software synth / digital sampler
* Christian Fennesz computer
* Cor Fuhler electronics, piano, organ
* Thomas Lehn analogue synthesizer
* Kaffe Matthews computer

Pianist John Tilbury joined the group to record The Handsof Caravaggio. Critic Brian Olewnick describes the album as "A staggering achievement, one is tempted to call The Hands of Caravaggio the first great piano concerto of the 21st century."
