Rituals of Mine is more than music, it’s a raw, immersive experience. Led by Terra Lopez, the Sacramento-born project fuses electronic, R&B, and hip-hop influences into a sound that is deeply personal yet undeniably powerful. Formerly known as Sister Crayon, Lopez has reclaimed Rituals of Mine as a vehicle for catharsis, resilience, and reinvention, earning widespread acclaim.
Rituals of Mine has been praised for its emotional depth, genre-defying production, and bold lyricism, receiving high praise from BBC, Pitchfork, Billboard, GRAMMYs, Paste Magazine, and more. Rooted in activism, mental health struggles, and healing, Lopez’s music channels pain into sonic innovation, blending hypnotic beats with evocative vocals to create something both intimate and expansive.
Now, Rituals of Mine is entering an exciting new chapter, with a highly anticipated album set for Fall 2025. Alongside this, Lopez is reimagining the Rituals of Mine live show, collaborating with jazz/hip-hop trio LabRats to craft a dynamic, genre-blurring performance that brings fresh energy into her signature sound.
With this evolution, Rituals of Mine continues to push boundaries, embracing vulnerability, musical experimentation, and a fearless rendition of what electronic music can be.
The Seshen
The Seshen is a San Francisco Bay Area-based six-piece band led by singer/lyricist Lalin St. Juste and bassist/producer Akiyoshi Ehara. Their forward-thinking sound combines synthesizers, drum machines, and live percussion to create an unmistakable fusion of R&B, synth-pop, and electronic music. St. Juste and Ehara are joined by four remarkable bandmates to create their multidimensional music: drummer Chris Thalmann, keyboard/synth player Mahesh Rao, percussionist Mirza Kopelman, and sampler Kumar Butler. They take inspiration from across the musical spectrum; their individual influences range from recognizable artists (Erykah Badu, Jai Paul, James Blake, Radiohead, and Broadcast) to genres and eras that don’t initially appear to fit together (hip hop, indie rock, early electronica, and 70’s dub). Their unique alchemy of seemingly disparate sounds has led fans and critics alike to describe the band as defying categorization.
St. Terrible
St. Terrible is a musician and performance artist based out of Boise, Idaho. Ranging from the beautiful to the bizarre, his work is eclectic and ever changing in it’s sound, form and presentation.
The Gospel of Nothingness was created by St. Terrible in 2015. Working in collaboration with a large cast of artists specializing in everything from music to dance to set design, The Gospel of Nothingness is an immersive experience that incorporates elements from a wide range of arts and music to create a unique and expansive world that is always changing and endless in it’s stories.
“St. Terrible, a Boise, Idaho-based self-dubbed “freak folk” artist, has been, knowingly or not, spreading his own Gospel of Nothingness that not only taps into these Buddhist themes, but celebrates them with a jubilance. Mixing the joyfulness of a sermon, religious iconography, and a transgressive approach to performance itself which seeks too subvert the performer vs. audience dynamic, St. Terrible and the Gospel of Nothingness have created an expansive and embracing experience that is vital and vibrant.” – Lex Voight, LA Music Blog
