A-SUN AMISSA
Formed in 2011, A-SUN AMISSA have been exploring the edges of some kind of avant-rock ever since. The quest to keep delving deep into new voids sees the project moving in and around a diverse chasm of melancholic drone, post-rock, doom and ambient sounds.
A-Sun Amissa is led by Richard Knox and currently exists as a trio with Claire Knox (clarinet/vocals) and Luke Bhatia (guitars). The project has featured an array of members and collaborators over the years including Colin H. van Eeckhout (Amenra, CHVE), Jo Quail and Aidan Baker (Nadja) amongst many others. Recorded output has been released on Richard’s own Gizeh label as well as Belgium’s Consouling Sounds. Most recently A-Sun Amissa released their seventh studio album ‘Ruins Era’ in February 2024.

AIDAN BAKER
Aidan Baker is a classically-trained multi-instrumentalist focusing on the electric guitar as his primary instrument. Using prepared and alternate methods of playing the guitar, along with various electronic effects, Baker creates music which generally falls within the ambient/experimental genre
but draws on influences from post-rock, shoegaze, electronica, neo-classical, and jazz.
A highly prolific artist, Baker has released numerous recorded works, both solo and with various group projects—most notably his dreamsludge duo, Nadja—and including collaborations with such artists as Tim Hecker, Carla Bozulich, Jussi Lehtisalo (Circle/Pharaoh Overlord), Ekin Fil, FM Einheit, and many more—on such independent labels as Karlrecords, Southern Lord Records, Important Records, Alien8 Recordings, and Gizeh Records.
A frequent live performer, Baker has toured extensively around the world, including appearances at such international festivals as
FIMAV, SXSW, Amplifest, Unsound, Roadburn, and Supersonic.

SULK ROOMS
A pseudonym of Yorkshire based composer Thomas Ragsdale, the music of Sulk Rooms draws the link between euphoric electronica and smoke engulfed drones.
Slow-morphing textures sequence and cascade, encapsulating intimate moments of colliding sound amongst fluttering arpeggios and transcending synth builds.
A predominant soundtrack artist included in many of Adam Curtis’ groundbreaking BBC documentaries as well as scoring BBC true crime series, Netflix features and Prada commercials, Sulk Rooms is part of Domino Publishing’s prestigious composer roster.
Atmospheric music for the head alongside the heart, Sulk Rooms' music captures spontaneous audio mirages and saturated imperfections within a crushing backdrop of low end and harmonic ferocity.
Electric soundscapes and rising techno map Sulk Rooms' universe where panoramic pulses fuel adrenaline charged synths to feelings of both wonder and unease.
