M A Harms is a Los Angeles-based composer, performer, and instrument builder who explores the intersections between grief, gender, and sex through a combination of text and sound. Their practice centers performance art and interdisciplinarity, imagining and creating sound using sculptural installations, found objects, electronics, mannequins, and placing equal significance on the visual experience of their work. M navigates literal stories and personal life events via sound practice, obscuring them to the point that they begin to bridge the gap between individual and “universal” experiences.
dagger wound (he/it) mixes harsh noise electronics with extreme performance art including needle play, body stitching, and live blood letting. dagger wound brings abrasive sounds with a strong political message and a cathartic and transgressive performance style that tests the lines between human, machine, and beyond. he is motivated by his desire for a better world and his lifestyle as an underground trans freak, sex worker, and transient. he has toured nationally and internationally as 1/2 of mirrored fatality and nationally as dagger wound and has collaborated with multidisciplinary queer and trans artists across the world. he is the sword and the wound,the guillotine and decapitation. He’s releasing his first solo tape GUILLOTINE & DECAPITATION through stolen time in April and will be debuting new collaborative projects including forced castration, murderwound, 34 daggers, defractured spawn, and noisey shore by the summer.
TW/CW: dagger wound’s performance will contain blood, loud amplified sounds, and strobe effects
Josephine Shetty is an experimental pop artist and vocalist, best known by the monikers Kohinoorgasm and Girl Debord, and as the lead singer of electro-pop duo Pride Month Barbie. Shetty is known for combining susurrate vocals and extended vocal techniques with a minimal and hypnotic production style while integrating vast influences from Cocteau Twins to Diamanda Galas to Sheila Chandra. Since releasing her debut solo album Titalee in 2017, Shetty has performed at SXSW, The Echo, Zebulon, UCLA, Berkeley Art Museum, Sarah Lawrence College, Great American Music Hall, and most notably within California’s underground music scene. Her passion for creative collaboration has also led to various roles in music education and audio engineering, including teaching music technology courses at California Institute of the Arts and providing sound design support for local live productions and sound installations. You can catch her performing or DJing at bars and small venues around Los Angeles, or listen to her monthly radio show People's Portal on Dublab where she highlights underground and experimental music.
Boss Witch Productions is an artistic production company focused on the intersection of experimental sound art, ritual performance, video art, and transmedia collaboration within natural landscapes and unusual performance sites. Co-directed by Carmina Escobar and Mads Falcone, Boss Witch was founded in 2020 to establish a sustainable, artist-driven infrastructure for the creation of experimental, site-specific work. We seek to reimagine our relationship to the world around us creating immersive innovative exhibitions, performances, and sound art related to land and ritual while leaving a minimal human footprint. Our work is driven by deep engagement with place, community, history, collaboration, craft, imagination, and the liminal spaces that the rubbing of these elements create. We lurk in nature, searching for playfulness in freedom, finding agency and power on our own terms.
