Ayumi Ishito:Ayumi Ishito is an NYC-based saxophonist and composer who pushes the boundaries of instrumental music. Blending jazz, prog-rock, and electronic textures, she creates a captivating playground of sound. A 577 Records artist and leader of the Ayumi Ishito Quintet, her latest work Wondercult Club explores the intersection of free improv and melodic ingenuity. Ayako Kanda:Visiting from Tokyo, AYAKO KANDA moves between the feral and the utterly wild, between free improvisation and standard jazz, quick sketches and impressionist painting, creating rules and breaking them as she roams between linguistic and alinguistic modes of expression. Jonathan Franco:Jonathan Franco uses field recordings, found objects, contact microphones, analog synthesis, magnetic tape, and feedback to create tactile soundscapes and sonic collages. His practice explores the relationship between organic textures and electronic interference. His work as a film composer and sound designer informs his sense of space, pacing, and narrative.

Endless Season (Daniel Carter &amp; Ayumi Ishito):Endless Season is the transcendent duo project featuring legendary multi-instrumentalist Daniel Carter and flourishing saxophonist Ayumi Ishito. Since collaborating in 2016, the pair has redefined the "auditory escape," blending acoustic roots with an invigorating electronic dreamscape.In their debut album (released on 577 Records), Ishito's courageous audio production and playful tenor saxophone meet Carter’s masterful expressions on trumpet, clarinet, flute, and piano. Described as a "tranquil, melodic dialogue," their music weaves together blissful ambiance and deep, nature-inspired soundscapes. As a rising leader in New York’s avant-garde scene, Ishito joins forces with the philosophical innovator behind 577 Records to create a cosmic, genre-bending experience that represents the future of creative music.

Zahra Najafi:Zahra Najafi is a composer and vocalist whose practice is rooted in three formative sonic worlds: Religious recitation, mourning rituals where repeating body-held rhythms preserve grief across generations, and marching band. Traditions where the word rides the rhythm, where sound is memory, where collective motion becomes meaning. From that foundation she samples the sounds we've grown numb to: field recordings from New York, Tokyo, and Tehran gathered as living archives of disappearing worlds. Rokka Hashimoto:Rokka Hashimoto is a Tokyo-based pianist and composer — Gold Prize winner at the All Japan Bach Piano Competition, scholarship recipient at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, currently studying composition at Tokyo University of the Arts where her work spans chamber, orchestral, and electronic music. Her orchestral work premiered at Sogakudo Hall's Tokyo Geidai Morning Concert with the Geidai Philharmonia Orchestra. She has composed and arranged for FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE at Yoyogi National Gymnasium and Ariake Arena, and for Hiromi Go's Dinner Show at the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay and The Prince Park Tower. Together as Zahra &amp; Rokka, they bring these musical traditions into a single room. What is the sound of New York if not the collision of everything that came from somewhere else into something that could only exist here. A direct response to the times, if not the times itself.

Echo Moth (Yana Davydova):Echo Moth is an art-rock project by Yana Davydova, a singer songwriter and guitaristwhose spacious sound is influenced by new wave, post punk and her love for Argentinian rock. Foreign born and shaped by a lifetime of living in NYC, she found songwriting as a way of giving voice to her liminal persona and how she sees reality through the lens of borderlessness and permanent transition. She has been performing her songs live with a band or as a solo where she mixes the songs with improvised soundscapes.
