Slowfoam

Slowfoam, aka Madelyn Byrd, is a sound artist, performer, DJ, and educator exploring sonic-somatics and the ecopoetics of home and transformation. Slowfoam embodies an innate sensitivity to texture and somatic response, alchemising field recording, found hums and drones, electroacoustics, voice, guitar, and sound design into genreless whirls.

Slowfoam's debut album Transcorporeal Portal was released with Somewhere Press in 2024, and included in Bandcamp’s best of Ambient. Their sophomore album, Night Rider, follows later this year, revisiting a teenhood in the Sonoran Desert through Wild West fantasy. Night Rider weaves the synaesthesia of memory and streams of (un)conscious meanderings with a buzzing palimpsest of the American Southwest.

Sina

Yet another starlet borne of Naarm’s prodigious nexus, Sina emerges from the trip-hop murk of Dregs’ widely adored, eponymous ’23 entry. Her recent single, Olympus, for Somewhere Press, is the first sign of bigger things on the horizon. It blooms from reverbed guitar, synth pads and longing vocals with a sense of strung-out, romantic pathos and sensuality that colours much of the best work from the city at the far end of the world.

Mondlane

Mondlane is the solo moniker of sound artist Lisa Fabian, also in the Glasgow trio NEY. As Mondlane, she layers field recordings with her processed vocals and manipulated fragments. She draws from a growing library of intimate recordings, using her narrative-rich samples as instrumentation in improvised performances.
