                                <description><![CDATA[Madeline Johnston is a self taught multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer, currently based in Southern Colorado by way of Denver, where she spent the last decade developing her sound and focusing on her artistic community. Midwife began while Madeline was a resident of the beloved DIY space Rhinoceropolis in 2014. On stage, Johnston is known for her sparse, emotionally charged experimental pop music that can silence a room. On record, she produces intricate and lush sonic environments in her own little corner of the heavy music scene. She describes her sound as "Heaven Metal," AKA emotional music about devastation. Johnston writes primarily about grief, and the many faces it can inhabit. &#160; Amulets is the solo project of Portland-based audio + visual artist Randall Taylor. Amulets employs handmade cassette tape loops and live processed guitar loops to create live, lush soundscapes and immersive drones. Through the recontextualisation of cassettes, sampling, field recording, and looping, these long-form compositions blur the genres of ambient, drone, noise, and electronic music.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Horace Greene is a band that has done some things. Here is one of the things they did: they released an album. Actually, they released two albums. The first album has 12 songs and it came out in 2016, it is called "Early American Ice Cream". The second album also has 12 songs and it came out in 2018, it is called "The Diamond Engine". Both albums came out on June 1st - crazy. There is also this other EP they released, called "Live from the Algoma Club" - its a live album - three songs. That one came out in 2020 (not on June 1st). Here is something interesting that happened after "The Diamond Engine" came out: it got over half a million streams on Spotify. Unexpected. In January of 2025, following 7 years of tireless touring, Horace Greene unveiled "Nighttime Boi" - a shimmering new single off their upcoming full-length album. This marked the start of a new chapter for the band. Exciting. By June of 2025, hot on the heels of "Nighttime Boi", the "Summer of Cream" had begun. The definitve climax to the tour was August 15th, when the band released a nearly 7-minute single called "Cream" - a hypnotic, funk-laced voyage that cemented their flair for bold, magnetic songwriting. Creamy. Horace Greene got nominated for a WAMI award after "The Diamond Engine" came out. WAMI stands for: Wisconsin Area Music Industry. Informed. Horace Greene has done other things besides releasing music - they have played shows (performances in front of live humans/dogs). Here are some of the places in which those shows have occurred: Milwaukee's Summer Soulstice Festival, Mile of Music, The Anderson Japanese Gardens, Ledgestone Vineyards, Tosa Tonight, and Mid West Music Fest. Horace Greene has played about 200 shows, which is a 3-digit number. Accurate. Horace Greene sometimes plays shows with other bands. Here are some of the other bands they have played with: Post Animal, Bombino, Proxima Parada, Mo Lowda and the Humble, Miles Nielson (with Rick Nielson), Laney Jones, Stay Outside, Early Eyes, and Easy Honey. Fun. Horace Greene has done music videos for three songs: "Fevers", "Midnight Fuse", and "Nighttime Boi". Visual. Horace Greene has also done live music videos for three songs: "We Could Be Lovers", "Sunflower Silo", and "Love Me Again". These videos provide the visual component to that "Live from the Algoma Club" EP we discussed earlier. Raw. Horace Greene does short videos too, in an effort to further destroy your attention span. "Rollin' with Roland" is a short-form video series where the band writes, records and publishes a new beat in under 3 hours. In 2023, the Rollin' with Roland series got so popular on Instagram that it attracted the attention of the Roland company themselves, all the way over in Osaka, Japan. This resulted in an official Instagram collaboration with them on several different videos. Global. Horace Greene does not do all things. Sometimes other people do things. Here are some of those other people, and the things they have done: Honeytone Studio recorded/mixed "The Diamond Engine", and Gavin Lurssen mastered it. Gavin Lurssen also mastered other people's albums, like the Foo Fighters, George Harrison, Bruno Mars, and Queens of the Stone Age. Back to Horace Greene now. Chris Gehringer mastered "Nighttime Boi". Max Hauser filmed the "Nighttime Boi" music video and also the "Live from the Algoma Club" sessions. Nate Lehner filmed the "Midnight Fuse" music video. Casey Nelson filmed the "Fevers" music video. There are other people who did things too, they are also important. Love. Horace Greene is doing things. Horace Greene is playing shows, creating new music for a new album in 2026, making videos with an inanimate drum machine, updating this website, and chugging whole milk right from the carton. Empowered. Horace Greene will continue to do things. Futuristic.]]></description>
