Alexandrea Archuleta is a Two-Spirit Mestiza composer, DJ, graphic designer and quilter from Denver, Colorado.  With a background in Stagecraft & Design she’s been taught that extreme art can initiate extreme catharsis.  Her soundworks as Piano Rain, much like her quilts, hope to articulate a message of warmth, Love and revolution, whether it’s in a club or in the tub, or any space in between.  She has organized queer and electronic events throughout the Bay Area and Los Angeles, focusing on futuristic avant-garde artists and musicians from 2009-2020.  Highlights include opening for tape-composer William Basinski, UK electronic pioneers Plaid and multiple summers performing throughout Berlin and Whole United Queer Festival outside of Leipzig.  Prior to that she hosted a three hour vinyl focused monthly radio show on KGPC 96.9 FM at Peralta Community College.  Following an introduction to the music of Ennio Morricone and Arvo Pärt her style began to evolve from electronic synthesizer works to large scale classical palette of sound.  Most recently her Symphony No. 1: And No One Died Thus We Began to See in the Dark has brought her to a new chapter of composition and avant-garde classical work.

The beings who make up ‘CHEOMAT reflect on the ways their respective cultural lineages show up in their creative practices today, and how connection for collective liberation can be fostered across landscapes, cultures, and languages.

Tyler Holmes’ work reminds us that we are always in one spiral or another; spiraling out in exasperation, downward out of despondency, or inward toward oneself. The Wire calls Holmes’ work ‘Beautiful, at times frightening, confronting listeners and their complacency while holding space for a collective catharsis.’ They perform with a constantly changing electro-acoustic arrangement exploring what humanity is left in electronic music, always finding new ways to showcase an intimate horror. They released their most recent LP ‘Nightmare In Paradise’ in 2021 on Ratskin Records.
