Luna Lupa comes from a diverse set of backgrounds ranging from noise to jazz. Nana, Lulu West, and Paul Sakai meet in an improvised space based on the sustainability and nourishment from the trust and safety found in making music with friends. Folk and melody embedded in a wash of drone and layered noise - sometimes discordant, sometimes irreverent, sometimes deeply meditative, Luna Lupa values honoring our own bodies in the spaces we inhabit through the music. Luna Lupa is: Nana (Vocals), Lulu West (Guitar, Vocals and Electronics), and Paul Sakai (Percussion). @roykiyo et. al.

Leftpop is the project of composer, improviser, and producer Harrison Adams. His current keyboard work takes the natural world as inspiration, attempting to channel the rhythms of nature into musical forms. Across a decade of performances and recordings, he has interwoven field-recordings, analog synthesis, spoken-word poetry, data sonification, and experimental beats, interrogating ecology, media, mental health, and urban life. @leftpop
