Artists
ROHANA
ROHANA began her career as a classically trained cellist at the professional level, with a deep respect for the discipline, technical skill, and immersion inherent to the practice.
In recent years, her work and collaborations have pivoted towards a more experimental and deconstructed sound, integrating elements of the South Asian musical traditions that she grew up with.
Her performances explore themes of shifting identity, transference, states of mind, and the cyclical nature of time.
She utilizes her training in Carnatic music, as well as principles of distortion, obfuscation, and world building; inviting the audience not only to witness the sound, but enter into it.
Laenz
Laenz is a sound artist based in Brooklyn, NY, working within radiophonic textures and caliginous dance music. As a performer, they improvise with live electromagnetic signals, through software-defined radio scans and concurrent radio transmissions.
The resulting soundscape recalls the distinct sensory affect of an ‘ambient-noise mall.’ They have performed most notably at Cafe OTO, Park Avenue Armory, and Woodstockhausen. As a producer, they weave through elusive genres, often with dub and left-field influences, saturating abstract musical forms with tender observations.
They have released five EPs and contributed to numerous compilations, remixes, and collaborations, under the labels Scorpio Red, Woozy, Early Reflex, Dance Data, and others.
Axine M
Axine M is a container for the musical impulses of Maxine de las Pozas.
Born in Miami, seasoned by East Coast DIY, and based in Brooklyn. The Ancient Greek term Axenos, or
“inhospitable place,” refers to the Black Sea before nautical technology had advanced enough
to safely traverse the water.
Maxine is the composer and director of Solid Choir. Her experimental techno EP Bored Giant Engine Sputter was released in 2025 on anno records. She was a 2024 ISSUE Project Room Artist-In-Residence, and works as a Technical Director and Sound Engineer.
Sydney Spann

Previous releases include full length albums for Recital and Reading Group. They have performed at venues such as Artists Space, Ende Tymes, Public Records, MoMA PS1, Roulette Intermedium, and Red Light District.

Her work honors her Igbo heritage and her birthplace Atlanta, Georgia. Through her practice, she investigates the vast emotional landscape of human existence, continues to advocate for the amplification of muffled stories, all while feeding her insatiable desire for experimentation and discovery.

Bob The Fisherman
Bob The Fisherman is a solo project from multi instrumentalist, composer, and improvisor, Bobbie Johnston.
Fishing for notes and tones with lots of “s.w.a.g” (sound with a groove) he creates a distinct blend of modal, motivational (modal-vational) music. Bobbie explores music as a universal language; considering nature and the diaspora of sound while incorporating various instruments from around the world to spontaneously compose suites of spiritually inclined experimental music, tone poems, and other sonic psalms.
MAYSUN
MAYSUN is a composer and sound artist whose work transforms physical spaces into immersive sound environments.
Centered around modular systems, DIY electronics, and cyclical processing, he develops adaptable sound structures that interact with and reshape the contexts they inhabit. Blurring the lines between site-responsive installations and performance, his practice creates moments where sound, the room, and the listener become inseparable. Working with feedback circuits and spatial distribution, he creates the conditions for that participation.
Wet Currency
(Mekko Harjo & NY Graffiti)
Wet Currency is made up of visual and noise artist Mekko Harjo and experimental producer NY Graffiti. The project is inspired by the rich textures, emotional resonances, catharsis, and drama of drone, noise, minimalism, and EBM. Wet Currency welds the energies of these musics with a sense of humor, a commitment to sonic narrative, and a disregard for the confines of genre.

Off the decks, Albert shapes spaces for connection as a creative force behind the Bob & Shirley parties and, since 2023, as festival producer for Sustain-Release.
