Jessica Way is a guitarist and vocalist in the etherial doom-metal band, Worm Ouroboros, the dark folk/ambient band Barren Harvest, and the experimental folk project Hiraeth Eschar. As a guest vocalist she has collaborated with metal bands Ash Borer and Atriarch, industrial entity Theologian, and neo-folk’s Kinit Her and Fovea Hex. Through poetry and symbolism, her music delves lyrically into an inner world of light and dark, exploring the beautifully anguished territories of the heart.
Leila Abdul Rauf, Diverging from the sounds of her work in heavier projects (Vastum, Hammers of Misfortune, Cardinal Wyrm, Ionophore), Leila creates an overall atmosphere of introspection, accessing what is often unconscious and obscured by the human condition: songs are not so much composed as captured from dreams. Evoking haunting and desolate places, a private world is exposed, where time and space are distilled down to what remain of distant memories and hidden emotions. Selections will be performed at ATA from both of her solo albums, Insomnia and Cold and Cloud, embedded within improvisational pieces. Nathan A. Verrill (Cardinal Wyrm) and Ryan Honaker (Ionophore) will be accompanying Leila’s set on violin, synths and live sound captures. Visuals by Nathan A. Verrill will also be projected during the performance.
