December: 30th September '25

“Le silence qui porte l’étincelle” (“The silence that carries the spark”) evokes the quiet weight of violence that never truly ends. Beneath the stillness lies a hidden ember, fragile yet unyielding, always ready to flare again. The piece listens to that silence, where memory and fire coexist. This performance brings together the flute of Cédric Jullion and live electronics by Jinkyeong Bae.

Live recording from Glasgow's Old Hairdresser's, June 2025

Nordic Resonance is a duo performance by Renzo Spiteri (percussion, electronics, field recordings) and Richard Craig (flutes, electronics), shaped by the raw beauty of Shetland—where land, sea, and sky meet in constant motion. Drawing its breath from the northern edges of the Nordic sphere, the work invites deep listening and intuitive response, unfolding through free improvisation and layered interplay. 

The island’s diverse soundscapes—wind-carved coastlines, shifting weather, birdsong, silence—form both source material and inspiration, resonating through acoustic and electronic textures. Instruments, found sounds, and live processing blur the lines between the human and the elemental. Nordic Resonance is not only a musical performance, but a conversation: between environment and artist, between sound and sensation, between what is heard and what lies just beneath. Each performance is immersive and attuned to the moment— a quiet invocation of place through sound, presence, and listening.

aQa expresses his affinity for atmospheric electronics through a variety of forms. While delving into the ever-evolving journey of further expanding his musical vision, and with performances at De School, Breakfast Club, Drift and Zeezout on his track record, aQa consciously made efforts to reflect his current state in the mix. As a result, the Rotterdam-based DJ performs in an ever-striking way with heavyweight electro and techno that will shift any audience into top gear.

Travis Allen - 26th September 2025

DUST & MEMORIES

For their first collaborative project, Hanil Jeong and Charlie Waridel performed an audiovisual live set. Charlie’s live generated images, charged with the political question surrounding live coding that’s central in her artistic practice, are visual in essence. Hanil uses Ableton as a framework to develop self-generating algorithms, setting rules to guide the creation of sound. Their performance wanders between uncontrolled randomness and subtle structure, exploring the tension between chance, imagery and music generated by non-human systems.

Charlie Waridel is an artist passionate about new technologies and the political issues surrounding them. With a background in photography, she pays particular attention to her compositions and enjoys working with overlays. Live coding has a strong political aspect that she has been questioning.
Hanil Jeong is a multidisciplinary artist with a background in game design. He’s fascinated by gaming technologies as a medium to explore creative possibilities across different domains.

Tierra is back - this time with a new guest: Frida. Frida is a DJ with a taste for the unexpected. Her sets move through bass-heavy, percussion-led broken beats and what she calls “dubby new wave techno”, blending genres with a subtle yet deliberate hand. It’s not about showing off - it’s about building tension, releasing it, and shaping atmosphere through thoughtful selection and shifts in mood.

FLINTA* sound collective based in Zürich, Switzerland

Pauline Oliveros’s concept of the Sonosphere refers to the sonic or sonorous envelope of the Earth, encompassing all vibrations, natural or technological, that travel through the planet and beyond. It’s not just about sound as humans perceive it, but also encompasses a wider range of energies and vibrations, including electromagnetic and geomagnetic fields. Oliveros’s Sonosphere also incorporates the idea of a „listening body,“ where the human organism is seen as a receiver and resonator of these vibrations, both consciously and unconsciously.

Jinkyeong BAE is a South Korean composer based in France. She focuses on the musical potential of everyday sounds, uncovering what often remains unnoticed.
