CCsquele(DK)

FRIDAY
21:45

With CCsquele, everything feels like a curious probing of musical styles, carried by the power of a mining truck and the elegance of velvet curtains being drawn back. CCsquele erratically and effortlessly connects the dots between monumental glam rock, dungeon synth, black metal and eurodance, always one step ahead, tumbling in free fall while somehow landing on their feet.

Also the mastermind and sole emperor behind the cassette label Dybdestegte, CCsquele has carried this restless approach through a dizzying number of solo projects and bands over the last decade, including Værket, Reverie, Slægt, Thicket, Scimitar, Jesum Christum, Shrug and Cuirass.

Ex Continent(ES)

FRIDAY
19:15

Ex Continent is the moniker of musician and visual artist Arnau Sala Saez. For FOEG, he will present a version of the performance SDSDS, an exercise in the organization of sounds and events. Using synthesis and several devices, the piece encourages the listener to engage phenomenologically with non-hierarchical horizons of perception opening up around them.

Ex Continent’s work explores specific sensory environments that dramatise the relationships between their individual components. By experimenting with sound from non-musical disciplines, this practice examines the dynamics, expectations and interactions that usually appear around the act of listening, as well as physical and metaphysical perspectives.

Felisha Ledesma(US)

THURSDAY
20:45

Felisha Ledesma is a sound artist and musician based in Malmö, Sweden, whose work often utilizes field recordings, synthesized sound and Ledesma's own voice enveloped in washes of distortion and cavernous space.

A distinctly warm and organic palette permeates Ledesma’s work, with each moment slowly unfolding into an intimate aural experience that paints abstract yet vivid pictures. Everyday sounds and eroded memories are distilled into sonic recollections, often unfolding in a non-linear way that invites meditative deep listening.

Greg Malcolm(NZ)

THURSDAY
19:30

Hailing from New Zealand, the music of Greg Malcolm sits somewhere between blues, folk and minimalist repetitive music, combining a Cage-inspired approach to the prepared guitar with a sonic world that evokes both the vastness of the desert and the jolting rhythm of an unpaved track.

Malcolm is a one-man orchestra, simultaneously playing three guitars with his hands and feet. Surrounded by bells, springs, resonators, gongs and knives, he draws on a rich palette of timbres and textures, building hypnotic solo sets around repetition, evolving melodies and layered drones.

As a guitarist, composer and improviser, Malcolm has been an active figure in New Zealand’s experimental music scene for decades, with numerous solo releases and collaborations with artists including Tetuzi Akiyama, Alan Licht, Eugene Chadbourne, Bruce Russell and many others. He is also one half of Slightly Imperfect, alongside Jenny Ward, performing the songs of Scottish poet and songwriter Ivor Cutler.

GUSH(UK/AR)

FRIDAY
22:45

GUSH is a stripped down avant pop duo with maximal execution featuring Steven Warwick (fka Heatsick) and Iván Brito (aka Vanya). The project brings to mind psychedelic experimentalists such as Silver Apples with post punk incisive humour and the studio precision of Flood. Creating surreal lyrical observations informed by mythology and the imagination, GUSH mix short song forms with a looser, psychedelic musical approach.

Iván Brito is a drummer and producer hailing from Argentina, while Steven Warwick is a British artist, writer and musician whose practice incorporates sculptural installation, performance, video and composition. Their debut album as GUSH, Splash of Milk, was recently released by Huntleys + Palmers.

Headband(US)

SATURDAY
21:45

Duncan Moore is an intermedia artist and musician from Baltimore, Maryland. He works primarily in the realm of abstract sound and movement and usually performs under the moniker Headband. His work moves between manipulated sound, physical movement and performance, often bringing together tape, electronics and unconventional sound sources.

Moore also plays traditional and free-form music on the Highland bagpipes, drawing on the classical techniques of Piobaireachd, the original music of the Highland pipes dating back to the 17th century.

Laila Sakini(AU)

SATURDAY
20:45

Laila Sakini is a Melbourne-born, London-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, vocalist, producer and performer. Working with piano, voice, guitar, found sound and silence, Laila is a world builder, creating dynamic and textured environments that provide the listener with space to develop their own meanings and responses.

Maria Bertel(DK)

FRIDAY
01:00

Maria Bertel is a danish trombone player and composer who’s been doing the rounds in the Copenhagen music scene since the late 2000s, where she co-founded the venue Mayhem and the artist collective Eget Værelse.

Bertel combines her acoustic instrument and tonal range with amps and varying degrees of distortion, creating an output that draws inspiration from drone and noise music. The raw amplification makes audible what normally goes unheard, and physical movements, metal and breath become a swirling part of her compositions. Changing organic patterns emerge, with tiny sounds appearing brutally clear as well as the range of overtones of the instrument.

Apart from her work as a solo artist, she performs and composes in groups like the notorious four piece noise rock band Selvhenter and improvised noise duo Nina Garcia & Maria Bertel. She has also collaborated with acts such as Tashi Dorji, Jooklo Duo, Nick Klein & Valentina Magaletti.

Megabasse(FR)

SATURDAY
19:30

Behind the moniker Megabasse stands French musician Pierre Bujeau. Also a member of groups Omertá and Tanz Mein Herz, Bujeau uses Megabasse as a long-form minimalist exploration of resonances and harmonics creating an almost mystical, communal and uncanny space where time appears to break away from reality.

His approach is deceptively simple, as Bujeau picks up the double-necked guitar, an instrument that normally signals maximum rockist excess along the likes of Jimmy Page. In his hands, however, it transforms into something closer to a zither or a dulcimer, producing soft chiming patterns that build against themselves until the sound of the room, passed back and forth between his two amps, starts to blur everything.

NZIRIA(IT)

FRIDAY
00:00

NZIRIA is an experimental project by artist and dj Tullia Benedicta, born and raised in Ravenna from a Neapolitan family. NZIRIA works in the self-described genre of “hard neomelodic”, a hybridisation of the Neapoletan neomelodic song and hardcore gabber influences.

Through hard neomelodic, NZIRIA creates a sound that moves between different concepts: North and South, traditional and contemporary music, masculine and feminine identity.

Tullia Benedicta debuted on Gabber Eleganza’s imprint Never Sleep with the full-length XXYBRID and recently released the album SYYSMA on DRACO Records.

Peder Mannerfelt(SE)

SATURDAY
23:45

Peder Mannerfelt splits the difference between playful immediacy and daring experimentation. You're as likely to find him premiering a live show at Berlinʼs Atonal festival as pulling apart fabled techno meccas from Berghain to Fabric with synapse-frying precision.

As a producer, heʼs worked on every one of Fever Rayʼs acclaimed albums and live shows, as well as projects from alt music heavyweights such as Smerz, Blonde Redhead and Glasser. His Peder Mannerfelt Produktion label has become another outlet for his singular approach, presenting his work alongside similarly experimental operators like Sissel Wincent, Machine Woman, Klara Lewis and Hodge.

Mannerfelt thrives on the energy and community of contemporary club music, and more recently, his PM+ series celebrates the immediacy of club-focused tracks, as he pushes the musicʼs possibilities in wild, unpredictable directions.

Radical Democracy(US)

THURSDAY
22:00

Radical Democracy, the duo of multidisciplinary artists James Hoff and Ben Kudler, creates live audiovisual works that utilize publicly available video cameras positioned throughout the world. Drawing on this data from publicly accessible live surveillance video streams, the project turns live music performance into a journey through global networks of observations and daily life using compromised technological platforms and protocols as creative material. Their work proposes infiltration as a new form of democratic participation within the networked infrastructures that shape political and cultural bodies. Shelter Press will release Radical Democracy’s debut record in Fall 2026.

Ben Kudler is an artist, computer scientist and humanities professor in New York. His work primarily deals with sound, from improvised electronic music to audio installations to speech and text synthesis. He has a background in the noise scene and also studied computer science. He teaches, researches and performs at, among others, the New School for Social Research, NYU, UCLA and Goldsmiths College in London.

James Hoff is an artist based in New York, who examines how technology, media and data shape our social and political world, while developing new ways to use these tools creatively. For his work, Hoff uses, among other things, computer viruses, data signals, catchy tunes, dead spots and hacked Google Maps as starting points for visual, audio and multimedia-based projects. He is also a co-founder of the independent publishing organization Primary Information. His works have been exhibited and performed internationally, including at Artists Space, Bergen Kunsthall, the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans, the Center d'Art Contemporain in Geneva, The Kitchen, Kunsthall Oslo, the Royal Theater La Monnaie, Mass MOCA and MoMA PS1.

Ragnhild May(DK)

SATURDAY
16:30

Ragnhild May is a Danish multidisciplinary artist and composer with a background in visual arts. Her artistic practice revolves around the material conditions that allow sound to circulate and draws upon sculpture, installation, and performance to inquire into the cultural and social history of musical instruments.

She often reflects on the form of musical instruments, specifically how they have been designed for what she describes as normative bodies, as well as on their sonic limitations. To explore this, she experiments with scale and multiplicity, sometimes inventing her own versions of these familiar objects, which can be both played and exhibited independently.

May has performed at festivals such as Klang (DK), Spor (DK), Organ Sound Art Festival (DK), Archipel (CH), and Gaudeamus (NL), as well as at experimental music spaces including Issue Project Room (US), Roulette Intermedium (US), and Superdeluxe (JP). She has also performed and exhibited at many institutions including Tabakalera (ES), SMK - The National Gallery of Denmark (DK), Overgaden Institute of Contemporary Art (DK), and Rønnebæksholm (DK).

Saltmother(DJ)

Saltmother plays a mix of experimental folk, rock and esoteric music with a few detours into carefully curated electronic and pop. Her sets are an eclectic blend of present and past hidden gems.

Slightly Imperfect perform the songs of Ivor Cutler(NZ)

FRIDAY
20:30

Slightly Imperfect is the New Zealand duo of Greg Malcolm and Jenny Ward, on a sojourn into the strange, playful and surreal world of Scottish poet, songwriter and performer Ivor Cutler.

Cutler’s distinctive blend of whimsical poetry, simple melodies, absurd humour and everyday observations is brought to life through Ward’s vocals and Malcolm’s one-man-orchestra accompaniments. Using guitars, domestic objects, toys, bells, pipes and extended techniques, Slightly Imperfect opens the door to a timeless realm as an ode to play and absurdity, and a tribute to one of the 20th century’s most distinctive poets, songwriters and performers, whose strange and tender vision still resonates today.

Syringe(DK)

SATURDAY
22:30

Syringe is a Copenhagen-based no-wave and noise rock band built around the collaboration between Arsene Survie and Lasse B. Beck. Emerging from Denmark’s underground music scene, the group has evolved into a cult favorite, known for their intense and unpredictable concerts.

Drawing inspiration from artists such as Wipers, Butthole Surfers, Royal Trux, Suicide, Sebadoh, and The Jesus & Mary Chain, Syringe creates music that feels both immediate and unpredictable. Distorted guitars, drum machines, hypnotic rhythms, feedback, and unconventional song structures form the foundation of a sonic universe where raw energy takes precedence over perfection.

At the core of the project is a strong independent spirit. Syringe embraces a DIY approach to recording, releasing and presenting their work, approaching music as a space for experimentation and expression rather than conformity.
