One year of care. (@care.______)

I didn’t really expect this series to grow into what it has. What started as a small idea slowly became a space people genuinely kept returning to. That means a lot to me.

Thank you to everyone who helped shape it into what it became.

Really grateful for this first year of care. and everyone who’s been part of it.

Join us for a special evening of all live experimental sound:

@pureliiink

Purelink are more than the sum of their parts - formed in 2020, the trio (consisting of Millia, kindtree, & Concave Reflection) has amassed a loving fanbase worldwide for their fusion of influences - from the rhythmic depth & detailed sound design of speaker-knocking contemporary bass music, the enveloping sub bass, sway of dub, & the classic chillout IDM styles of aqueous swirls & textural ambient scapes.

Bringing in a distinctly modern flair with innovative groove programming to their recordings & live performances, their music touches upon the effervescent emotional realms & limitless technological potential of Mille Plateaux Y2K-era experimental ambient styles - one eye towards the past & one on the future, yet lucidly present for the catharsis of poignant dancefloor moments or an evening of heads-down introspective electronic journeying.

Those who were with us for the last care. at Reforesters Laboratory already know how singular it feels to hear live electronics through their 24.2 channel spatial sound system.

We’re excited to return, gathering again for an evening featuring Purelink, Eden Aurelius, and Lydo.

@drewmcdowall

Drew McDowall is a composer and sound artist known for his contributions to experimental and electronic music. His work explores the outer edges of sound through intricate modular synthesis, field recordings, deconstructed samples, and unconventional compositional techniques. Renowned for its immersive and abstract qualities, McDowall’s music blends electronic and acoustic elements to craft complex, evolving sonic environments.

In the early 1980s, McDowall moved to London, where he became involved with key figures in the UK’s industrial music scene, including Genesis P-Orridge, David Tibet, Peter Christopherson, and John Balance. His work with Psychic TV led to his collaboration with Coil, eventually becoming a full-time member. Tasked with helping steer the group in a new direction, McDowall played a significant role in shaping Coil’s later works, which fused ritualistic practice with sonic exploration. His influence is especially evident on albums such as Time Machines (1998)—a seminal work in drone music—and Music to Play in the Dark (1999).

His latest album, A Thread Silvered and Trembling (2024), continues his lifelong fascination with pibroch (piobaireachd in Gaelic)—the elegiac solo bagpipe tradition often used for laments and tributes to the dead. The album alchemizes laments and tributes to the dead reinterpreting the tuning systems of Scottish bagpipe music through modular synthesis, acoustic instruments, voice, and electronic processing, weaving flickering dissonance with plaintive melodies. 

Magnetism, a collaboration with Kali Malone was released on Ideologic Organ on November 11,  2025.

As a key figure in modern experimental music, McDowall bridges the industrial traditions of the past with the evolving possibilities of electronic composition today.

@lyra.pramuk

Compelled by collectivity, spirituality, consciousness and care, the Berlin-based, American multidisciplinary artist Lyra Pramuk has conceived a unique form of devotional music. It doesn’t have to involve formal religion; to Lyra, devotion is the beating heart of her artistry, a way for her to harmonize the open-ended potential of the human voice with the magic of technology as it rapidly evolves. And it roots her latest album ‘Hymnal’, her own book of transformational worship songs. Exploring the ecstatic genesis of sacred ritual practices, it cultivates many of the themes introduced on her acclaimed 2020 debut ‘Fountain’. Lyra draws from folk, house, techno, gospel and her formal classical education, working alongside the Sonar Quartett string ensemble to construct a symphony of the universe that coaxes listeners across dividing lines and towards mutual liberation. This same philosophy underpins pop.soil, her forward-thinking experimental hub and label, that deviates from the mainstream by prioritizing growth, cultivation and the exchange of ideas through physical and digital releases, online content, workshops, performances, and a bi-monthly cross-genre radio show on NTS. Frequently commissioned for film scores, sound installations and instrumental compositions, Lyra is also a passionate live performer who’s staged ambitious shows across the globe, collaborating with dancers, a chamber orchestra and visual artists to create a collective and pluralistic form of musical worship. To put it in simpler terms: Lyra has faith in her devotion.
