The event features short sets from established acts as well as one-off collaborations. This year's line-up includes British electronic improviser Leafcutter John; a rare UK performance by Dutch cellist Ernst Reijseger alongside pianist Harmen Fraanje and Mola Sylla on vocals and percussion; experimental Swiss vocalist Andreas Schaerer; a group led by drummer Jeff Williams and the Anton Hunter Trio. A guitarist from Manchester, Anton's spiky melodies and heavy riffs reveal his roots in experimental post-rock.
