Matriarch is the alias of Julia Spotts, currently based out of Philadelphia, PA. After beginning in Massachusetts, Matriarch rose to a venerable position within the Western Massachusetts noise scene through her work of experimental compositions exploring themes of memory and detachment. Matriarch is primarily a project focused on transcriptions of memory, taking listeners on a journey through specific instances of highly emotive and key experiences in the artist’s life. Taking a step back from these memories, her work exhibits moving, dynamic experimental sound most notably seen at Lausanne Underground Film & Music Festival, otherwise known as LUFF, in 2023. Currently, Matriarch is exploring the techniques of classical music, and applying those forms to experimental compositions, resulting in pieces of work made in the form of acts, segmented yet dynamic in nature.
Generic Fatigue is a moniker of Montreal based artist and musician Harpur Quee. Fusing their love of venetian plaster with exaggerated and archaic amplification, a curious and overblown exposure is given into the world of grit weathered trowels, palette knife sorcery, and luxury mineral abuse.
