Slowfoam is the genre-spanning music moniker of Madelyn Byrd. Playfully and tenderly, they build glitched-out, swirling soundscapes from drones, sparkling ambiance, fuzzy poetics, field recordings, and textural percussion. In an extension of their world-building process, Slowfoam’s experimental, electroacoustic productions blur lines between synthetic and organic sounds, collaborating in equal part with technology and biology.

Jake Muir is a Berlin based sound artist, DJ and field recordist, whose acclaimed and personal 2023 release Bathhouse Blues was birthed from an invitation from Partis’s GRM. He approaches his practice as a listener first, carefully curating, layering and processing sounds that help him deconstruct and contextualize his lived experiences and influences. Using investigative software methodologies, DJ techniques and engineering dexterity, Muir makes deeply personal sonic art that fluidly traverses genre membranes, encouraging reflection and sometimes prompting psychedelic states.

Oakland-based Jerod S. Rivera creates moody, immersive soundworlds.
