**Byzantine Beatbox** is the experimental/instrumental side project of Christian Erickson - producer/member of a number of bands including 90s darkwave group Judgement of Paris and indie-electronic pop groups Astronaut Wife and The Sevateem. BB combines beats, textures and electronics with classic/medieval elements to create a style reminiscent of films soundtracks, gothic pop and trip-hop.
**DIN.DRONE** Drone metal side project of Northern Hammer guitarist Nick Streine. DIN. DRONE performances stand out, not just for the fully improvised shows, but also for tuning to 432Hz, believed to have healing qualities. This choice adds a layer of depth to the sound, aiming to not just entertain, but also harmonize and heal with purely cathartic drone riffs. It’s a unique blend that makes DIN.DRONE live sets unforgettable experiences… Along with the volume))))))!
**Dutchman's Breeches** tentative, uncertain, ephemeral happily accidental, beyond my control warmth, circumstance, serendipity. Dutchman’s Breeches is a meditation on a feeling and a prayer to chaos—a prayer that beauty will be allowed to emerge from a network of interconnected minerals, if even for a moment.
**Ian Forkey** conjures auditory realms that reverberate with the joys and sorrows of existence.
**Larry Wish** has been composing all-genre music since 2007. With over fifty albums, including releases on labels such as Orange Milk Records, Moon Glyph, & Bumpy, his songs often explore daily observations, reflections, interactions, and trying to understand love and life without analyzing either to death. In a live performance, he may surreally mime a one person band of hyper-orchestral music, sing karaoke-styled songs which showcase his dramatic, low-register singing, play intimate piano tunes delivered through a wide emotional lens, or deliver a once-in-a-lifetime never-to-be-repeated performance.
**Linear Valley** is the ambient side project of Adam F Moskowitz, guitarist and lap steel player in alt-country band Lake Davi. Starting as insomniac, late-night solo recordings while between bands, Linear Valley uses analog electronics to make music that is simple, sad, comforting, and disorienting.
