clairaudience is the ambient guitar project of Queens-based musician Mike Sheffield. A miasmic suite of drone, shoegaze, and ambient–yet undefined—clairaudience functions as a solo project, full band, and collaborative effort. For this specific performance, Sheffield will be joined by Jess Paps, Healani Combier-Kapel, Alex, Cvetovich, and Carly Salas. Last May, clairaudience released their first full length “Letters From Emptiness” on kshack records. First Floor’s Shawn Reynaldo called it “heavy-hearted shoegaze bringing to mind the transcendent work of bands like Slowdive and Chapterhouse.” Writing for Uproxx, Ian Cohen called it “one of the most striking shoegaze releases of 2025,” going on further to say, “clairaudience work in zero-gravity reveries that recast Kranky’s early aughts output as an untapped resource for a dronegaze future.”

Carbon Anderson was born in Savannah, GA and is currently based in the Hudson Valley. Their expansive work moves fluidly between music composition and painting, each informing the other in a partnered dance. Since 2015, Carbon has performed as Pamela_ and her sons, a genre-defying music project that was nurtured through their tenure in Atlanta’s experimental dance and noise music scenes. Pamela_ renders immersive, emotional, and dynamic compositions that are hypnotic and transporting, flowing from ambience to liquidic dance movements, "[strobing] in and out of tonal comfort zones... creating a tension... a pleasurable discomfort, akin to blood rushing back into numb skin."

Y_o_o_L_ is the evolving audio-visual project of composer, instrumentalist, and artist, Hanil Lee. Creating self-described "Slow Listening Music with visual components," Lee uses a Eurorack Modular Synth, Elektron Digitakt, and Korg Minilogue to create transmundane and luminous sounds that land somewhere between ambient, dark ambient, glitch, electronic, and drone and yet defy expectation and project listeners to different states of being. With sincerity and transparency to their craft, it is still impossible to pin down the art of Y_o_o_L_ as they avoid easy categorization.

Samantha Simmons is a New York-based sound installation artist and selector, having developed her practice in Berlin and Los Angeles. Coming from a painting and drawing background, she explores sound through a visual lens of shape, line, color, and texture. When she works with sound, she has a specific idea of how the soundscape could create an aesthetic. Samantha researches the constant flux of processing our collective sound environment; sound is recycled and re-consumed to shape the listening experience in a process she calls a recycled listening. Her work spans Experimental, Ambient, Drone, Musique Concrète, Electro, Breaks, and Chopped & Screwed. She has performed internationally while contributing to platforms including NTS, Dublab, WFMU, Red Light Radio, Kiosk Radio, and The Lot Radio. She holds an MA in Sonic Arts from Universität der Künste (UdK), Berlin.
