Bigawatt is the solo project of Marisa Demarco, a musician, composer, journalist and event curator in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Rooted in noise and radical vocal arrangements, she builds electronic instruments and spectacle for live performance. She's in numerous troupes of experimental musicians in the desert, including large ensemble death convention singers. Demarco founded feminist performance art crew Milch de la Máquina in 2009 and the ongoing sister festival of Titwrench, Gatas y Vatas, a solo weirdo women's music festival in her home town of Alburquerque, New Mexico.
