Nina Ryser is a Philadelphia-based musician. Her solo experimental synth-pop project consists of lush synth compositions, vocals and electronics, and has featured a rotating cast of different instrumentalists throughout its existence. As well as DIY home-recording and songwriting, Nina has a background in composition, working with and scoring for a variety of ensembles including the American Symphony Orchestra. She has played in a number of bands throughout the years, including Palberta – a DIY art-punk/weirdo pop trio of 10 years that released 8 full-length records, receiving reviews by the New York Times, NPR Music, Rollingstone, and Pitchfork, toured prolifically across the US/Canada/Mexico, and opened for Bikini Kill and Deerhoof. Nina is currently working on her seventh full-length solo album, as well as a synth-based score for her friend’s feature length sci-fi film.
Turbo World is the sunny and shady brainchild of co-conspirators Stephe Cooper (of avant-prog boppers Cloud Becomes Your Hand) and Caroline Bennett (of digital hardcore duo Stice). Their debut album, My Challenger, is a surreal, animated prog-opera inspired by a 1973 interview with a mafia hitman. They are joined live by Ryan Power (Ryan Power), Jake Lichter (Stice), and Calvin Grad (Big French).
Releasing his fuzzy home recorded music since 2015, and touring the haunted DIY spots of New England mostly solo, Sam Boat finally presents his family band. Samuel Boat is the moniker of Hudson Valley based multi-instrumentalist Sam Lisabeth– long time member of art rock/synth pop band Guerilla Toss.
