Lunr Girl is the moniker of Keira Madsen, an independent electronic musician, producer, and performer with roots in so-called “Vancouver” and Denmark. Blending ambient textures, gentle rhythms, and lush vocals, her music lives somewhere between stillness and movement, offering a space to slow down in a world shaped by urgency and disconnection. 

Growing up, Keira often turned to the piano as a quiet space to process her emotions, using improvisation as a way to work through whatever she was feeling. Later, she discovered that she could bring those improvisations into a computer and build on them by adding other layers, instruments, sounds, rhythms, and textures. She still builds music this way: by listening, layering, and letting each idea unfold naturally. 

After graduating from the New Media + Sound Art program at Emily Carr University of Art & Design in 2023, she began developing her voice as Lunr Girl, influenced by artists like Four Tet, Enya, Kelly Lee Owens, ML Buch, and Grimes. Since 2023, she has steadily grown her practice as a self-managed artist: releasing music monthly, sharing videos and visualizers on YouTube, performing shows, and connecting with listeners through social media, email, and livestreams.

Kevin Woods has emerged as one of the most melodic and emotive voices in improvised music in the Northwest US.

Kevin’s father, who also played the trumpet, gave him a bugle at age two, a cornet at age 5, and a trumpet at age 13.

Kevin currently lives in Bellingham, Washington, where he serves as Professor of Music and Director of Jazz Studies at Western Washington University. He leads the contemporary Jazz group Emotive Origami, and co-leads the Toren//Woods Duo, Trio Linguae, and the In Motion Quartet.

I’m an Audio Engineer from Chicago, currently studying at the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins. I feel most at home creating and recording experimental music. My time at Peabody has sharpened my ability to capture realistic, lifelike recordings, but much of my personal work is spent deconstructing this realism to craft unique atmospheres. I thrive on the challenges our artform presents and believe that it’s often in the limitations and disagreements where the most exciting innovation occurs. 

In addition to experimental music, I also enjoy recording and producing folk, jazz, and country music. Growing up in Chicago exposed me to a wide range of musical styles, and I’ve developed a deep appreciation for each of them. My work has also led me into the world of experimental film, where I explore the intersection of visual and auditory expression.
