silent green presents
South East London guitarist and songwriter Alpha Maid presents her latest album Is this a queue, released via AD 93 in October 2025.
Beginning from a sense of frustration at the predictable and boring narratives and systems that we live under, and the feeling that such rules were the rules of the universe, Alpha Maid formed an interest in particle physics.
“We only know 4% of the universe, there is hope in that and the unknown 96%. I found excitement and wonder in that. The theories I was reading about relied more on the conditions of the present moment, and it made the idea of living in the moment feel more accessible. It started to be possible to see present time from all these different angles, and to have infinite more options to choose where to be next."
Written across many years and different places, the LP documents a journey and the people Alpha Maid met while moving around, collating moments of the present. Her guitar remains a constant amongst an array of sonic influences throughout: from dub which honours her Jamaican heritage and the Windrush Generation, to the twinges of an emo love song in On Smoke.
Is this a queue revels in the magic of that which we cannot see and coherently understand, and the narratives that have been shrunk down to fit. Remembering, continuing, forgetting, paying attention, building, navigating, contributing, time.
Madeline Stepien is a sound artist based in new York City. Her work explores sound as a tool of perceptual and emotional manipulation. Dylan Kerr is a performance artist and vocalist based in Berlin. Through process-based methods, microtonality and extended vocal techniques, their compositions explore psychoacoustic phenomena such as interference patterns, combination tone harmony and the interplay between voice and space.
In their joint practice, Dylan acts as the sound source, and Madeline as the sound obscurer, with Madeline processing Dylan's voice and instruments in real time. A process of transmutation which destabilises, diffracts and distorts.

their own biography
the whole biography
Kerr’s practice also focuses on audio-based work, which operates on the cusp of sound art and contemporary music, with a prevalent influence of Sacred Music. Most of their work has been made public through site-specific performances and installations in adapted-use buildings. Their Baptist Goth persona—self-described as a fusion of an emo trap idol and a Catholic saint—employs a sound collage approach, creating erratic soundscapes that are genre-defying and often merciless.Their RA profile lists Somewhere Press.Recently at 90mil, Hansabibliothek · often with Slowfoam, Alexandra Gruebler, μ ensemble, none of them here that night
