TYLER HOLMES tylerholmes.bandcamp.com

TYLER HOLMES (They/Them) is a singer-songwriter, visual and performance artist who uses music as therapeutic device. Coming from a turbulent and traumatic ‘cult-like’ early life, Holmes has spent a lifetime crafting their own Black, Queer narrative by pushing the limits of their imagination. In a constant state of reinvention they make a mixtape of every moment, from song to song the audience is getting a wholly different animal. Holmes has a chameleonic singing style that ranges from Folk inflected whispers, to morose Goth wails, to Gospel bellows. Envisioning themself as the imaginary child of Björk and Tricky, Tyler Holmes is on an isthmus between Trip Hop and Experimental Pop. They use a surrealist lens on a wide variety of genres, often blending diaristic narratives with dark, dream-like whimsy. Autobiographical and absurd, their writing is alluring and uncomfortable. Both brutal and beautiful, bringing the audience into a shared space of healing and catharsis. They perform with a constantly changing electro-acoustic arrangement, always finding new ways to showcase an intimate horror. Most recently Holmes' released their music video "Nothing" via Paper Magazine. In 2019/20 they released a series of EP’s and Spring 2021 marks the release of their highly anticipated new LP “Nightmare In Paradise” on Ratskin Records.

TRANSIENT https://www.drmsound.com/experimental-ambient/transient

Transient is a solo and collaborative project in which Molina explores electro-acoustic, ambient, noise, industrial, free improvisation, and experimental music. He sometimes plays traditional acoustic instruments, or invented and found object instruments, and filters them through electronics, effects pedals, loops them and then alters the samples in real time. The results can be meditative soundscapes which are either light, beautiful and haunting, or dark and disturbing. Other times it can be beat driven layers of noise, or a wall of shoegaze noise guitar. He recently released the live album “It Was Always Here” with trumpet player Darren Johnston. Other collaborators include: John Ingle (violinist), Yvette Jackson (composer/sound artist), the late composer Chris Webb, George Cremachi (bass); electronic musicians: Thomas Dimuzio, Polar, Garret La Fever, Miguel Hernandez, Mickey Tachibana, and Kyron; saxophonists: the late Marco Eneidi, Drew Ceccatto, Marc Williams, Alex Weiss, and Ackamoor/Molina Duet; video artist Mickey T, filmmaker Anna Geyer, and performance artist Violeta Luna.
