STEPHEN HOLLIGER
swimignorantfire.bandcamp.com
Stephen Holliger is a sound artist and composer from Illinois whose work explores memory, faith, and the quiet rupture of the everyday. Known for his band Swim Ignorant Fire, Holliger’s solo work turns inward — heavy drones, slow decay, and tone poems that move between grief and transcendence.
Through decades of experimentation with modular synthesis, field recordings, multi-instrumentation, and guitar looping, Holliger builds long-form pieces that feel both intimate and immense — a document of emotional endurance and the search for beauty in disintegration.
BRUTAL SHIFT
brutalshift.bandcamp.com
Finding beauty in eminent dread. Death ambience out of Dubuque IA. Brutal Shift is Alex Nowacki.
MUTE DUO
muteduoadr.bandcamp.com/album/migrant-flocks
Chicago's Mute Duo is Skyler Rowe (drums/percussion) and Sam Wagster (pedal steel). Building on simple, composed melodies, Mute Duo explores an atmosphere ranging from sparse chimes to pummeling drone with a free, rhythmic fluidity, and minimal electronic textures.
$15 advance - TICKET LINK COMING SOON
