Gentle Stranger are a London based trio, composed of Tom Hardwick-Allan, Alex McKenzie, and Joshua Barfoot. They are ‘a band who are not so much without a genre, but operating at a level where the very idea of genre is anathema; they make music purely as is required’ (The Quietus). Existing across both music and performance, their most recent release was 2023’s Inner Winter. They have collaborated with artists including Agnes Scherer and Adam Christensen.

AMRA is an audiovisual collaboration between Imran Perretta and artist-musician Paul Purgas (Emptyset, We Can Elude Control). Their live performance will incorporate electronic sound and analogue media, addressing South Asian identity through diasporic echoes and archival disruption
Fondant are murmurs, tape and string ~ sitting down encouraged.
Semionightmarekatz (Archie Irvine and Scott Brown) snoop the conduits, on a hunch, drunkenly playing with the flows of urban - and cyber - space. Translation, tracing, mutating, warping, pressing and exploding signs. Our art aspires to inebriated advertisements which have forgotten the product they are communicating.
