Østergaard Art Quartet
Three countries, four musicians
With an unusual combination of instruments and a strong will to look beyond predefined musical roles, Østergaard Art Quartet are creating playful music in a improvised universe of sound.
Seven Peace Orchestra
People blowing horns, hitting drums, pulling strings, striking keys.
A seven piece orchestra making peace jazz, a musical antidote for hard times, with songs balancing on a thin line between honesty and presence.
Television Pickup
Jetzt im Kino
Half electric half acoustic, Television Pickup is an android cinema orchestra playing songs from films you wish you had seen: Haunting melodies covered in dirt, broken in pieces and served with a straw.
Corpus Morgan
Untamed space-jazz juggernaut
Five humans sharing a refined taste for unbridled absurdity and hard core musical energy. Aiming to please the ears and eyes of the whole galaxy, they have thoroughly electrified their sound and adapted an interstellar dress code.
Kriktor
Pretentious and unlistenable
A trio with one bassist and two drummers, playing free music with strict boundaries. Together with their electronic echoes, they create sonic textures ranging from careful and humble to the outright obscene.
Nuaia
Faint tinkles of strong emotions
Music balancing between pop, free improvisations and abstract soundscapes. An unusual trust in tranquility, beauty and simplicity. Welcome to the tilt-shift macroworld of Nuaia.
Prylf
Darth Vader vs Sun Ra
Prylf is a five-piece band covering jazz standards in a glistening hotchpotch of pop, punk and electronics. Blasting with energy unlike anything since the golden days, they are the perfect representatives for the new generation of jazz musicians: twisted, decadent and impossible to not adore.
15,5
Guitar, drums and saxophone, making music out of careful calculation and pure chance. Despite their metric-wrangling skills, they are not only about virtuosity: 15,5 is truly mastering both kinds of music.
