Ana Roxanne

Born and raised in the Bay Area, composer and vocalist Ana Roxanne is currently based in New York City. Most recently, Roxanne channeled her heartbreak and grief into Poem 1, her second album and most unguarded statement to date. A blend of decelerated jazz, minimalism and vocal folk forms that's marked by an awareness of ambient musics, the album plays out like catharsis, finding hope in the subtlety, slowness and smoky sadness of its piano themes, vulnerable vocals and dissociated synthesizer drones.

Roxanne grew up fascinated by jazz, R&B and classical music, locked into Bay Area radio and her parents' record collections. After studying music she became involved in a choral programme that whisked her across the country. But it was a trip to Uttarakhand, India, where she traveled to learn traditional Hindustani vocal techniques, that truly reshaped her outlook. On her return to the USA, she enrolled at Oakland's Mills College and began sculpting her signature sound, dubbing a handful of experiments on her debut EP ~~~. Originally passed around only to friends in 2015, the record made its way to Leaving Records who reissued it in 2019 and its meditative, restorative songs struck a chord with listeners and critics alike.

A year later, Roxanne signed with Kranky and released her debut album proper, Because of a Flower using a lifetime of inspiration and emotional anguish to drive songs that looped dreampop with West Coast new age sounds and trip-hop with classical music, yet sounded startlingly personal.

Since 2022, she has also been working as a composer and collaborator for film, developed The Great Animal Orchestra with artist Bernie Krause, a commission for the Fondation Cartier. Most recently, she composed the score for the feature film First Light (2026) alongside director James L. Robinson. Reworking Beverly Glenn-Copeland's timeless Old Melody for Keyboard Fantasies Reimagined in 2021, Roxanne also worked alongside Brian Piñeyro (aka DJ Python) on the Natural Wonder Beauty Concept LP.

Clarice

Clarice is the minimalist and experimental folk music project of Emma Weber. Combining voice, sound and silence, her compositions explore music at its most intuitive. Working on her own and in collaboration with nature and friends, her process is a way of careful listening and shared creation. She is also one third of the band project Life.

For the performance at silent green, she will be joined by Finn Kraft.
