The duo frequently plays with special guests and recently released the cassette,’5amSky,’ (featuring a live collaboration with Matthew Lux, Andrew Scott Young, and Chelsea Bridge) on Astral Editions.

Stephen Holliger is an Illinois-based sound artist and performer known for his project Swim Ignorant Fire, blending looped guitar, field recordings, and textural drones into deeply emotional soundscapes. His upcoming solo tour supports the release of Fives and Sixes on Room40 (Australia) — a record that weaves family archive tapes, memory, and loss into meditative ambient compositions. Whether solo or with Swim Ignorant Fire’s evolving ensemble, Holliger’s music explores grief, ritual, and renewal with raw honesty and patience. Longtime collaborator Nate Hahn will be joining this date on pedal steel guitar. ragenap+dathon is the collaborative project of Joel Berk (ragenap) and Corey Lyons (dathon).
