“Carter’s singing harkens to that of a Catholic psalm or some sort of postmodern plainsong. Comparisons to Laurie Anderson would be appropriate. Although where Anderson confronts culture with a sideways glance, carter is entangled and entranced in the eccentric minutiae of her own psyche. - The Wire, November 2018”
WIZARD APPRENTICE is a music producer, live performer, and video artist. As a highly sensitive introvert, her multimedia projects are strategies for managing an overwhelming world. Their music is a combination of lyrical precision, minimalistic composition, and technically-amateurish charm. They create media that takes advantage of accessible, user-friendly technology; allowing them to skip time consuming learning curves and get straight to focusing on inventing personalized yet highly relatable language for deeply subtle and internal experiences. She’s not a gear-head, rather, a digital folk artist who vividly and simplistically expresses her inner world using resourcefulness and honesty. Her video work incorporates green screen graphics, digital puppetry, and minimalistic compositing to produce imagery that’s cerebral, campy, and hypnotic. She combines song and video to create multimedia live performances that explore intimate emotional themes ranging from the challenges/triumphs of being an empath to overstimulation in the Internet Age.
Sarah Louise (Thrill Jockey) combines elements of spiritual jazz, new age, krautrock and diverse drone styles to make contemporary psychedelic music. She is an avid mushroom hunter and herbalist and infuses her personal connection with the earth into her musical landscapes. She appreciates music's power to create safe space for ecstatic and meditative states that aid healing and connecting with the earth. Beginning as an acclaimed 12-string guitarist, she additionally incorporates electronic and percussion instruments for an immersive sonic experience. (photo by Katrina Ohstrom)
