Roland Santana: Audio and visual artist Roland Santana submerges you into a deep world of abstractions. Fluxing between ambient, IDM and flutters of bass, he creates a lush scenery - one that's intriguing and calming for those with an inquiring mind.

The Light Sublime is an ambient jazz duo from longtime collaborators Andy Bosnak and Jon Slusher. Blending guitars & textures, they craft spacious, meditative soundscapes inspired by nature, people, experiences, and memory. Their music invites listeners into a reflective space — where melody and texture move like wind through trees or light across water. Bosnak and Slusher’s partnership began in Chicago’s heavy rock scene with The Timeout Drawer (Consumers Research) and Beak (Someoddpilot). After years of creating heavy, dynamic music, the two shifted toward melody, subtler tones and open harmonies.
