Akosuen /aa-KŌZ-eh-win/ is a music and performance project by Billie Howard involving sounds that focus on breathing cycles, chronic pain, and mediation on both quiet and extremely loud sounds. Billie appears on her primary instruments: violin and piano, as well as with an ensemble including expanded strings, voices, organ, and percussion.

Wielding an electric violin, looper, and some effects pedals, Raquel records herself improvising and composing music regularly. She creates lush soundscapes, ambient drones, and experimental string music in her home studio. She enjoys making different kinds of audio art that pairs well with poetry and various sound textures.

The married duo of Natural Satellite blends the genres of jazz and 90s indie rock into a comforting and spacious sound home where saxophone flows effortlessly around finger-style cello.
