Terry is one of the most entertaining and unpredictable musicians in the London free improvising music scene. Rhodri Davies extends his instrument under a battery of techniques creating sound colours and textures quite alien to the harp.
Junko’s screaming vocal in a nuanced, piercing duo with Urabe’s fuming and convulsive saxophone, far removed from the codes of musical tradition.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.

4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.
Austrian guitarist who specialises in a warm digital deconstruction of guitar noise
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
Andrew Chalk & Christoph Heemann return with their diaphanous, impressionistic drone duo; their slowly evolving and enthralling works flutter and quiver with elegantly restrained, miniature sound events.
Adamantly analogue, inspiring and frequently chaotic in performance, Metamkine draw no distinction between image and sound; during their intuitively improvised performances music and images are created simultaneously and equitably.
