Initial Shock is back for a third edition. Lots of artist bios to come, here’s the second crop of them. Tickets are on sale now!

White Centipede Noise (sponsor): White Centipede Noise podcast seeks to give language to noise through long form interviews with those in the underground.

Apologist: Rose Actor-Engel (APOLOGIST) is a Philadelphia musician and composer. She uses synthesizer, tape and field recordings to create ambient and experimental music, implementing specific rules and protocols to determine structure.

S.D.: Since 2016, Montreal based S.D. has been playing in various projects (DESOLATUM, HIGH GROVE) with a focus on tape experimentation and improvisation. Using only cassette tapes and loops, she creates dissonant ambient drones swelling into harsh textural noise often accented by unamplified wailing screams.

Pizza Bouquet (sponsor): A Montreal pizzeria that is popular for its New York–style pies & slices for eat-in or takeout.

Matriarch is the alias of Julia Spotts, currently based out of Philadelphia, PA. After beginning in Massachusetts, Matriarch rose to a venerable position within the Western Massachusetts noise scene through her work of experimental compositions exploring themes of memory and detachment. MATRIARCH is primarily a project focused on transcriptions of memory, taking listeners on a journey through specific instances of highly emotive and key experiences in the artist’s life. Taking a step back from these memories, her work exhibits moving, dynamic experimental sound most notably seen at Lausanne Underground Film & Music Festival, otherwise known as LUFF, in 2023. Currently, MATRIARCH is exploring the techniques of classical music, and applying those forms to experimental compositions, resulting in pieces of work made in the form of acts, segmented yet dynamic in nature.

Generic Fatigue is a moniker of Montreal-based artist and musician Harpur Quee. Fusing their love of venetian plaster with exaggerated and archaic amplification, a curious and overblown exposure is given into the world of grit weathered trowels, palette knife sorcery, and luxury mineral abuse.

Advanced tickets available now!

Next up: Primitive Isolation Tactics will be playing with Worth, Pain Appendix, Jute, Taskmater and Frederick Maheux on May 23 at Batesmotel in Montreal.
