Danishta Rivero is an improviser, performer, and sound artist based in Oakland, California. She explores the artifacts resulting from heavy processing of the voice and their relationship to its acoustic resonance.
As a soloist, Rivero often performs as Caribay, conjuring the eponymous mountain spirit, whose laments cause avalanches.
She is a member of electro-acoustic duo Voicehandler with percussionist Jacob Felix Heule. She is also half of Las Sucias, a feminist tropical noise duo with Alexandra Buschman-Román.

Rot Diet is a duo comprised of Chris Farstad & Mitch Stahlmann that strives to document the rapid unscheduled disassembly of sound. Previous episodes have featured vintage wind synthesizers, guitar effects pedals, pitch-to-MIDI software, cracklebox, and flute. The music is an exercise in extended technique seeking to abstract expression through technological limitations at the threshold of idiom.
