An Unforgettable Night of Experimental Music. An electrifying evening of avant-garde sounds and boundary-pushing music as three cutting-edge experimental music bands converge on one stage to take you on a journey like no other.
Eden Rayz is a Boston-based composer, cellist, instrument designer, and extreme vocalist known for immersive performances that double as individuation rituals. As 2023–2024 Artist-in-Residence at Mount Auburn Cemetery, she created Argent and Sable, an electroacoustic instrument built from a former pipe organ, and composed The Cemetery Tapes, a live album blending amplified cello, extreme vocals, and percussion.
She has collaborated with artists including Pile, Third Eye Blind, and Moon Tooth, and improvised on the Grammy-winning Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök soundtrack. Her cello playing has been called “terrifying” and “unbelievably special,” while I Care If You Listen praised her music as “a world the listener has stumbled into.”
Eden’s solo album Corpus Vice merges death metal with contemporary classical music to process climate grief. She has presented work at Carnegie Hall and Musiikkitalo, and lectured at Berklee College of Music, Harvard, and MIT.

Killick Hinds lives in Athens, Georgia USA. His music is Appalachian Trance Metal made on unusual stringed instruments with an emphasis on unquantifiable rhythms (shaping time), intuitive intonation (shaping pitch), and shamanistic ROYGBIV (shaping color). The primary sonic influences on Killick are animals, wind, water, fire, electrical hum, and silence. Pop-culture mashups and ancient and obscure forms infuse his music; the effect more closely resembles speech patterns and emotionally-drawn architecture than it does conventional Western music. Despite its eclectic nature the sounds are surprisingly familiar and accessible to audiences of all ages and levels of musical involvement. Killick is a co-founder of Habitable Records (habitablerecords.com) and offers mastering services for dynamic sounds through H(i)nds(i)ght Studio. More than 300 Killick albums.
