Julianna Barwick

Louisiana-bred, Brooklyn-based recording artist Julianna Barwick crafts ethereal, largely wordless soundscapes, all of which are built around multiple loops and layers of her angelic voice. Barwick, who credits a rural, church choir upbringing for her unique sound, begins most tracks with a single phrase or refrain, then uses a loop station and the occasional piano or percussive instrument to build the song into a swirling mass of lush, ambient folk.

sam hamilton

Sam Hamilton is an experimental musician and artist from Auckland, New Zealand. He is an regularly active generator of quintessential cognitive junk that wofts somewhere beyond the point of meaning. His work ranges the gamut between joyful meaningless free noise rock through to orchestrated live Expanded Cinema explorations manipulating yesterday's film equipment and techniques or even 35mm films to investigative field recording adventures into the sound environments of the Amazon rain forest...

Ghostly

Ghostly is an extreme drone/industrial metal project led by Deaemae. The project is drum machine driven band that relies on repetative guitar riffs or droning noise with usually deep death metal-style grunts to high pitch black metal screeches. The project has a primitive sound that Deaemae purposely tries achieving to create a "dark atmosphere." Initially, the project started off as a project that would play pure death metal with doom metal touches. Eventually, the project took a change incorporating more industrial tones to the music than actual death metal.
