IZOLAT [ē-zō-laht, Romanian for Isolated] is the Dungeon Synth project of Derek Rush [DREAM INTO DUST, UNFEELING]. Solemn melodies and dissonant chords drenched in the echoes of solitary spaces, with intermittent ambient and percussive sounds from forests and cemeteries. A split with ETVRNE was released on No Sides Records in 2024, with a full-length forthcoming.

CALLUNA (Heather Harper) is a singer, violinist, DJ, and sound artist. Vocal melodies arc across the sky, looping and swirling through her vocal processing instrument, The Augmented Voice. An ocean of ambient textures, surging drones, distorted beats, and crushing noise churns below. 

Heather has played at Pittsburgh’s most vibrant underground and experimental music events, including Misophonia, The Pitt, Sweet Escape, PS, Sweet Abyss, Dropout, and the Fire Lights festival, at venues including Collision, Club Pittsburgh, the Government Center, the 40th St Bridge, and HAVEN. She is a violinist in the grindcore project SHAME HOLE, a DJ and visual artist in the duo Reverse Cowgirl, and a frequent collaborator with genre-fluid pop artist Bella Figlia.

Jenn Taiga draws from a cornucopia of influences to craft a resplendent and dark style of music tangentially related to dungeon synth and Berlin school music. A prolific studio artist and even more active touring act, having performed at several Dungeon Siege festivals across the nation and completed a self-booked nationwide tour in July 2025, Jenn Taiga draws from real-life experiences– putting on full display her deep struggles as a trans woman in America, as well as her deep affinity for SM –to craft a unique live presence with a performance which is as extramusical as it is exciting. Performed entirely live and exclusively with analog synthesizers, Jenn Taiga’s entrancing performances are marked with a professional level of skill a striking intensity.
