I make goth and pop punk music for the new generation of alt kids 

I am an inventive modular synthesis performer that came out of the jazz world. I incorporate guitar, drum machines, vocals, and more into intricate modular builds to create huge sonic atmospheres and groovy, layered bops. 

I write, record and produce all of my own music.  I am an independent alt-pop artist.  I write from personal experience and I am bridging and experimenting more with dark pop music now which I would love to premiere at this semester's invasion.

As an artist, I focus on creating experimental electronic music using my custom Max/MSP patches. My work fuses internet memes with sound synthesis technology to explore the emotional tension and mental state of individuals under information overload and social pressure. I'm also interest to create anything related to music. From synthesizer to orchestra, all of these are great for me to explore.

My music is about expressing myself, in whatever way I'm feeling. It ranges from indie rock to ambient soundscapes to clashy punk. When it comes to summarizing myself I like to let the art speak for me, but in words I would say thoughtful, impactful, and meaningful.

we consist of 7 members, and make music that spans from traditional hip hop and trap to hyper pop and electronic. Our group is eclectic and enjoy making different music that pushes our abilities as artists. We recently dropped two singles and are working on a more long form project for the future.

SORRYNOTSORRY is a NYC-based indie rock project formed by multi-instrumentalists Samantha Dagnino and Andrés Cottin. The visionary Venezuelan songwriters are redefining what the modern power trio can be. The project is built around dual guitars, shared vocals, and rhythm-forward arrangements that balance raw distortion, hypnotic groove, and melodic synchronicity. Now writing in Spanish for the first time, their latest chapter channels inspiration and resilience through a rhythmically explosive sound — think Gorillaz meets Turnstile in Spanish. For their Nublu performance, Sam and Andrés bring a high-energy set that celebrates Venezuelan creativity in the heart of NYC. 

Raven Tao is an electroacoustic musician and media composer whose work evokes an ethereal, dreamlike sonic world shaped by a poetic and textural sensibility. Rooted in classical violin training, her practice expands into live processing and electronic manipulation, sculpting immersive sound environments that blur the boundary between acoustic and electronic media.  As a composer for media and interdisciplinary collaboration, her works have been presented at the West Bund Museum in Shanghai and the C-LAB Future Vision Lab in Taipei. Her audiovisual work Noma Tongues has been selected for presentation at the New Media Caucus 2026 Conference.

Sue Hudson lives is a new solo project where I play every instrument (except the drums). Sue Hudson is a new persona I'm using to figure out a new, heavier sound as a songwriter and my debut EP "Minor Miracle" will release on Halloween. The music is fuzzy alt rock inspired by some exciting DIY bands in the DC/Pittsburgh/Philly scenes like Gaadge, A Country Western, and Flowers for the Dead. The lyrics are influenced by my love of Jack Kerouac and diner breakfasts.

Hard rock band, catchy tunes
