The Italian duo, Cesare Lopopolo’s and Anna Vezzosi’s  project, Rosso Polare uses an array of techniques - from call and response improvisation to tape manipulation - to create experimental soundscapes of bass-backed murmurs and clangs that blur the line between the worlds of human and non-humans.

The name of the Berlin based trio, Der Dritte Stand, roughly translates as the Third Estate, or the common people. Through free association and subtle give and take, a sprawling egalitarian world emerges that exists beyond hierarchy and towards collaborative possibility.

Kenyan American multi-instrumentalist Nyokabi Kariuki offers a meditation not only on the impact of colonialism on Kenyan languages and indigenous cultures, but her own reconciliatory journey to reconnect with her heritage. Her childhood haunts are brought to life through field recordings, experimental electronics, and multilingual chatter in this tender and vibrant quest through memory and history.
