Jessica Garson aka Messica Arson ventured into the live coding scene in 2017 while seeking
gigs for her new punk solo project utilizing Sonic Pi. Since then, her sound has
significantly transformed, emerging as a unique fusion of live sampling, modular
synthesis, and live coding. A defining feature of her music is the incorporation of
screaming, adding a layer of rawness. Messica has showcased her talent across the
US, Canada, and Europe, opening for notable artists such as Oliver Ackerman of A
Place to Bury Strangers and Eric Schlappi from Schlappi Engineering. She has been an
active member of LivecodeNYC since 2017; she has played a vital role in organizing
and planning shows for the collective.
