ARKHAM SUNSET, the electronic project led by Portland based producer Gerry Hathaway, blends cinematic layers of industrial, synth-pop, EBM and dark ambient textures for a uniquely stimulating experience. The sound is driven by a select merge of analog and digital synthesizers and drum machines. His passion for vintage horror and sci-fi subtly influences the themes woven throughout his music. Hathaway has spent nearly a decade developing his unique sound, releasing three full length albums and half a dozen EPs. His latest album, “Beneath”, released in fall, 2024 is widely regarded as his strongest material to date. Arkham Sunset performances are an immersive visual experience, brought to life by artist Lee Ann Hathaway, Gerry’s wife, who designs and manages the lighting, stage elements and video projections. Together they craft a dynamic atmosphere that blends innovative music with retro-futuristic visuals. Mnemonic Pulse is the Portland-based post-industrial/ambient void artist Caitlin Love. As a longtime musician/experimental artist in bands such as Hot Victory, Desert City Soundtrack, and Duo of Destruction (to name a few), Love broke out on their own in early 2019 with the eponymous Mnemonic Pulse release. Under the MP moniker Love conjures up undulating sonic masses with serene loops and melodic sequences clashing with broken glass samples and distorted rhythms. Lies We Were Told: Heavy and melodic, pulling from post-punk, darkwave, pop and gothic themes. Their sound, though unique, is reminiscent of earlier bands like Killing Joke and Joy Division, evoking a sound from another era, while remaining at home alongside modern bands in the post-punk revival camp.
