Madelyn Byrd (they/them, b. 1992) is an educator, musician, DJ, and worldbuilding practitioner based in Berlin. Their creative and educational work implements decolonial, hydrofeminist and queer ecology to investigate possibilia and the “sympoietics” of co-becoming to promote synergistic social transformation beyond human-centred perspectives. Byrd fosters a deeply collaborative, interdisciplinary spirit to deconstruct and reconstruct the perceptual realm, weaving field recording, intricate sound design, spoken word, and somatics. Madelyn holds a Masters in Neuroaesthetics from Goldsmiths, where they researched the impact of collaborative imagination on measures of connection and hope in social praxis art. They teach critical theory + music production courses on sonic worldbuilding with Soundial. They are a current resident in Zurich University of the Art’s School of Commons (SoC), 2025 with collaborator Lou Croff Blake to develop their project, Chimera.

@slowfoam is Byrd’s all-encompassing, genre-defying music moniker. They create speculative post-human dialogues and para-worlds, sculpting a/biotic textures from electroacoustics, field recording, feedback, granulated synthesis, drones, and spoken word. Their playful sonic tapestries are spatially triggered and adapted to deep-listening environments, clubs, and everything in between. They have performed and toured extensively, including recent performances at Subbacultcha (NL), Cafe Oto (London), The Lab (San Francisco), Morse (Tokyo), and Morphine Raum (Berlin). Their discography has been published on Somewhere Press, Mappa, and Jungle Gym Records. Slowfoam is a former resident at Internet Public Radio, where they curated their monthly show, Our Tomorrow. Their work has yielded features on Bandcamp, Electronic Sound Mag, DJ Mag, First Impressions, Pitchfork, Boomkat, The Wire Magazine, and Futurism Restated.


Slowfoam @ Mostra 2025 🖤

Corroded ambient structures, distant memories and a wash of sea air.

Wërda w/ Hünter: 13th August '25

A few weeks ago, my good friend Grant asked me if I could lend a hand with a track he was finishing. Stunned by his incredible vocals, it felt like an honor to support him in any way I could. He told me, “One day, I’ll ask you to make your own interpretation of it.”

Yesterday turned out to be one of the most draining days I’ve had in a long while. I was so exhausted that when I finally opened FL Studio to try and channel all the negative energy, nothing came out — just a blank. Then I remembered what Grant had said a few weeks earlier. We had been talking on Discord while he was also helping me with two of my own tracks. I asked him to send me the raw vocal files, and once I had them, the journey began. Suddenly, everything I had bottled up started to flow into the music.

Close your eyes, listen, and let it take you in.

Portraits of Absence – Portraits de l’Absence

Neptunian Influence Podcast, Twenty-Six | Featuring @adab

"3000 AD...

The Pan African Liberation Movement (P.A.L.M), having long since established a deep space orbital platform for Earth separatists in a dark region not too distant from Neptune, sends a recovery team to their deep space reliquary, “Osiris” on Neptune’s moon Larissa. It contains a multitude of PALM’s ancestral earth tribe’s sacred (and most secret) relics...

The shamanic council of elders foresaw that Larissa, on a slow spiraling orbit towards Neptune, would eventually start to shatter into a ring around the icy hot liquid giant...

The cataclysmic events have started, the operation is underway...

Extraction operators encounter a myriad of bizarre visual and auditory hallucinations during the mission as the moon slowly disintegrates into Neptune's noxious atmosphere of hydrogen, helium, and methane...

This is one." ~ADAB

Note from Whipnotiq: One of my favorite things about this mix series are the stories that are cultivated from exploring Neptune's influence. I am elated to invite you on this journey, for which ADAB has exemplified the beauty and vastness of Neptune's impact. ADAB, affiliated with Cleveland's @heavenisinyou and @in-training parties, DJ'd at our third annual brunch during Movement Detroit this past May, and we are pleased to feature them in this capacity now. Meet you in the Great Dark Spot <3
