Slowfoam, aka Madelyn Byrd, is a sound artist, performer, DJ, and educator exploring sonic-somatics and the ecopoetics of home and transformation. Slowfoam embodies an innate sensitivity to texture and somatic response, alchemising field recording, found hums and drones, electroacoustics, voice, guitar, and sound design into genreless whirls.
Slowfoam's debut album Transcorporeal Portal was released with Somewhere Press in 2024, and included in Bandcampโs best of Ambient. Their sophomore album, Night Rider, follows later this year, revisiting a teenhood in the Sonoran Desert through Wild West fantasy. Night Rider weaves the synaesthesia of memory and streams of (un)conscious meanderings with a buzzing palimpsest of the American Southwest.

Yet another starlet borne of Naarmโs prodigious nexus, Sina emerges from the trip-hop murk of Dregsโ widely adored, eponymous โ23 entry. Her recent single, Olympus, for Somewhere Press, is the first sign of bigger things on the horizon. It blooms from reverbed guitar, synth pads and longing vocals with a sense of strung-out, romantic pathos and sensuality that colours much of the best work from the city at the far end of the world.
