Al is currently involved in several projects, including 'what', Telescoping, and Missive. Past projects include Steerage, MANKINDA, and Buck Young.

He runs the Laminal Audio mastering studio in Tracyton and curates the Marginal Frequency performance series and record label of the same name - @laminalaudio


** Kevin Corcoran - works with percussion, field recording and electronics with an open interest in sound as medium as it moves through contexts of music, art, communication, and place. He improvises, arranges sounds and collaborates across disciplines and borders. Interests include emphasizing friction, sympathetic vibration, sustained tones and use of found objects in percussion performance and investigating urban excess and intersections of natural and built space through field recording practice - based in SF


*** Theodore Kentros - composer and musician based in Stockholm, Sweden. His music ranges from serialised organ drones constructed to reach screeching culminations, to minimalist, repetitive studies in tape loops and string synthesis. Kentros has been an active member of Fylkingen - the legendary artist-run association for experimental music and art - for over a decade, as well as co- running the label XKatedral since 2016 and running the label Kalkatraz Cassettes since 2017 - @bobhnud

… embodying timeless themes of friendship and self-discovery through their minimalist pop soundworld. Since their formation in 1994, they've created uncluttered and fearlessly vulnerable music. Through their perfectly-paired harmonies and telepathic playing, they navigate the present, past, and future, offering a poignant continuation of their musical legacy, resonating like time spent with an old friend who knows you best.  


** Eve's Peach - @evespeachmusic - Santa Cruz / San Jose


… serving up a slice of indie-pop pie with a dollop of rock; ingredients sourced from the saccharine sounds of The Sundays, bittersweet edge of The Spinanes, and fervent froth of the 90's PNW DIY scene. All weirdos and misfits welcome at this picnic blanket!

SubRosa is part of the Hub Community Center, in downtown Santa Cruz, CA which is the unceded homelands of the Awaswas-speaking Ohlone people known as the Uypi, who stewarded these lands since time immemorial. Centuries of colonial violence led to the removal and displacement of the Uypi. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.
