Dansk:
Lao Dan老丹 (cn)

Maria Bertel (dk)
Maria Bertel er en dansk trombonist, improvisator og komponist. Hendes lyd er karakteriseret ved ekstrem forstærkning af hendes instrument, inspireret af drone og noise musik. Bevægelse, åndedræt, resonerende og raslende messing skaber kaleidoskopiske detaljer i de ellers minimalistiske kompositioner.
Køs (dk)
Tre musikalske søskende forener som Køs deres kærlighed til både storladenhed og skrøbelighed i en søgen efter intense nye lydlandskaber. I et elektroakustisk univers blandes, bøjes og manipuleres lyden af saxofon og trommer, som får instrumenterne til både at smelte sammen.
