Hotel Neon is the Philadelphia-based trio of Michael Tasselmyer, Andrew Tasselmyer, and Steven Kemner. Together they create music to get lost in: cavernous, reverberating guitars and synthesizers, matched with visual projections to create an immersive audio/visual experience. Since forming in early 2013, the group has released 7 full-length albums and several EPs. Hotel Neon has toured and collaborated with the likes of Benoit Pîoulard, The Sight Below, Simon Scott, and Marcus Fischer, filling everything from living rooms to cathedrals with their densely layered walls of sound.
Requiem is the cinematic, neo-classical, ambient focused, post-rock project of Tristan Welch (Guitar, Electronics), Douglas Kallmeyer (Bass, Electronics, Production), Monica Stroik (Visuals, Vocals) out of Washington D.C. Together these artists create strikingly powerful instrumental music filtered through a prism both haunting and gorgeous. A masterful fusion of their cinematic and minimal strengths - long-form pieces swell and sway between ambient, drone, neo-classical, and psychedelic zones for a sound that serves as a reflection of the musician’s desire for connection amidst an apocalyptic, harrowing, and dramatic backdrop.
