ARTIST ANNOUNCEMENT:
Comforters is a new band from Ridgewood, Queens, featuring Andy Borsz (@badtripsny) and Jessica Garson Beauchemin (@messicaarson). The pair became close while performing as part of the collective Visceral Realists on tour in China, and soon wanted to explore beyond the minimalism of their previous project. They debuted in late 2025 at Freak World and are known for their loud, organized chaos in their live sets. They use live coding frameworks such as Tidal Cycles and SuperCollider, custom instruments built with a Raspberry Pi, and Pure Data and Eurorack modular synthesizers. Catch them @the_living_gallery 2/16 at the Nonstop Noise Fest!

I played eight shows in 2025. Mostly solo sets, some with Visceral Realists, and the long-awaited debut of Comforters (my project with Andy Borsz) at Freak World. Last year, I made a point to move beyond the NYC live coding scene and explore different spaces; it’s been so rewarding to make new friends and play some of my bucket-list NYC venues.

During a residency at NYU’s IDM audio lab this summer, I wrote a new song every single day, and honestly, they’re some of my favorite tracks I’ve ever made. I released two of those tracks already!

There’s plenty of new music coming soon, a few talks about my process, and I’m very open for bookings in the new year.

Whether it’s playing your city, sharing a bill, writing songs, jamming or hitting the road together, hit me up! 💕

This past week I had the opportunity to be a resident at @idmnyu’s audio lab. My goal was to write one new song each day entirely written and composed in the lab and this is the most excited I’ve been about new work in a long time.

I have a new sample libary of over 100 new songs, 5 new songs (check out slides 4-7 for a sneak peak), made a plan for a record I've been sitting on for a few years and developed a better sense of how to use livecoding frameworks in production environments.

Thank you @rlukedubois and the rest of the team at the audio lab for this amazing opportunity! 🫶✨🎛️🎹🎤

2024 has been another incredible year. Some highlights include touring China with Andy as Visceral Realists (including playing the algorave at @system_shanghai as part of @iclc2024), collaborating with @dirtlux at the @livecode.boston show and releasing new work with @kwammunist under @seriesgenerativeworks.

In November, I had the pleasure of performing two standout shows—one collaborating with @friendlyspinach at @scobi_hotel, and another, a great show with new friends organized by @sui_moto.

I’m excited to share new things with you soon!

Just finished a run of three shows with @biscuitvile as Visceral Realists in China. This tour was a dream come true. We met some amazing new friends in Suzhou and got to play for them, played the legendary @trigger_shanghai, and even opened the @iclc2024 Algorave with a noise set at @system_shanghai.

Thanks to Nico for setting up the Suzhou show, @torturingnurse, @yamahahaha_h, and @shu_ride at Trigger, @anthroposcene and @mrgohai for organizing ICLC, and @ricciii_liu for letting me borrow your laptop to play the Algorave. Also, thanks to @kastakila_ for helping us find a mixer, which was surprisingly difficult.

Special thanks to @zonazanjeros for making this all happen🩷

A year ago, I had just left my job at Twitter and didn’t know what was next for me. I decided to focus on my music and ended up playing 20+ shows in 6 countries.

Thank you to everyone who supported me making loud aggressive but awkward music that’s not always likable.

Favorite moments of the year:
- Playing the international conference on live coding
- Doing a mini tour with @piraran.ensamble and @rnbwtrsh
- Planning a show for @supersghp at @ridgewoodsoundlab
- Dueting with the highway at @mamatriedbk on the same bill as Oliver from @aptbs
- Jamming with my partner @cutyourface
- Smashing my laptop with @zonazanjeros
- Playing @bostonmodular’s modular on the spot event
- @newyorkmodularsociety’s murder by modulation and opening for @schlappi_engineering
- Many hangs and jams with @archaic.tech and @reckonermusic
- Recording a new album with @gdeblock that I can’t wait for you to hear.
