Infrasubcontra is a tuba-doom duo from New Jersey. Tuba and Euphonium (and other brass instruments) improvised/semi-composed drone duets with pedals and synths. Infrasubcontra performs high powered low brass electro acoustic music with a focus on drone, depth, and disassociating textures. Their music is improvised and bass heavy, taking influence from a wide range of American underground and academic musical traditions.
Sohme is the sound-based project of Philadelphia artist, producer, and architectural designer Saumon Oboudiyat. Informed by a decade of work as an architectural designer and a lifetime of musicianship, his work blends analog and digital synthesis, acoustic instrumentation, and environmental sound into immersive listening environments. Released via Phantom Limb’s Spirituals imprint, his debut album Palm reflects on new fatherhood, Persian-American cultural duality, and shifting life stages through layered textures and arrangements. His work has recently been performed at Passages, Johnny Brenda’s, Vox Populi, and Pageant : Soloveev alongside guest lectures at Parsons School of Design.
