Amy Pix is a singer-songwriter and sound artist under the name of Tiny Geese, drawing inspiration from artists such as Florist and Adrianne Lenker. Her work blends ambient textures and instrumentals with acoustic-folk songwriting, creating immersive sound worlds rooted in nature and emotions. For Amy, songwriting is a magical, mysterious sanctuary — a private place to reach the deepest and most vulnerable parts of herself. She says she would make music even if nobody heard it, because it’s a gift of personal comfort. Whether it is a fox in her garden, the sun coming in through her window or wondering what knowledge a tree might hold, Amy treats songwriting as a way to nurture her inner child: staying curious, soft, and unbound. Her current project, “Donut Infinity”, explores that same tenderness — holding the past, present, and future in one gentle, endless loop. You can find Tiny Geese on Bandcamp and on Instagram at @amyk.sound.

Religion, psychology, contradiction, duality: this mystifying combination drives industrial noise musician Marco Conway, otherwise known as Sin of Father. His debut album, Hands of Providence, was released in 2025 via Texas-based label Black Artifact. Marco tests the boundaries of what’s deemed sonically pleasant and unpleasant, unearthing a sweet spot between clashing emotions and textures in a yin-yang approach that creates something entirely new to the ear. His work blends explorations of Catholicism with influences including William Burroughs, Genesis P-Orridge, and Psychic TV. At the centre of it all is a belief in music’s therapeutic potential, especially for listeners navigating mental health struggles – something Marco understands firsthand, having found music to be an unconditional anchor in his own life. When asked for his advice for up-and-coming UAL musicians, he says: “Stop thinking and start creating.” Hands of Providence – Gossamer Sheath is available via Black Artifact’s Bandcamp. His SoundCloud is Hands of Providence, and his Instagram is @sinofthefather.

Inspired by post-punk, indie-folk and 60’s rock, Joseph Adams performs originals with his band Rivergold as guitarist and singer. He connects with Joe Strummer’s quote from The Clash: “All we’re doing really is trying to communicate something… Sometimes we don’t know what it is, sometimes we do.” Through live performance, Joseph thrives on that unifying connection with his audience. Poetry often sparks his creative process: he gathers words that shape the theme and mood, then follows them into melody on acoustic guitar, mixing and producing the final track himself. His favourite writing environment is freewriting on a long scenic train ride while listening to his favourite musicians, because for him, forced writing stunts creativity. His advice for beginners is consistency: put the practice in, even when inspiration doesn’t show up. Find Rivergold on Instagram at @rivergoldband. 

These three artists reflect the devoted and spirited musicians you might sit next to in class at UAL. Listen, connect, and support them now!
