Jorge Espinal (PE)
Jorge Espinal is a Peruvian guitarist and improviser based in Buenos Aires. His solo project explores the limits of physical rhythmic independence, expanding the possibilities of the prepared electric guitar. Elements of noise are redefined under the blessing of Latin American rhythms.
With guitar, bass drum, cowbell, pedals, and a laptop, he triggers samples, loops, freezes sounds, and uses the guitar more as a rhythmic instrument than a harmonic one. A kind of abstract cumbia with dengue.
Espinal is a member of Ricarda Cometa and Calato. He has released music on labels in Argentina, Peru, Switzerland, and the U.S., and has toured extensively, presenting his work at key festivals and venues worldwide.

Spiderpeople (DK)
Spiderpeople is the duo project of Halfdan Magnus Stefansson and Mikkel Wilstrup. Through extreme amplification of both guitar and drums, the duo explores a wall of sound aesthetic as the core of their music.
It is loud, but not intended as a hostile act — rather, the massive volume is meant to be immersive and embracing, turning the concert into a physical experience. The music still aspires to be beautiful and poetic: droning, stretched-out songs on downtuned guitars, with feedback and heavy chords accompanied by repetitive, trance-like rock grooves.
Originally rooted in the tradition of old-school improvised music — as documented on their self- titled debut album — Spiderpeople has since taken a turn towards something more different, aiming to create music that feels newer.
Both Halfdan Magnus Stefansson and Mikkel Wilstrup are part of the new generation on Copenhagen’s experimental scene, and both are associated with the record label and collective Movement Shaped Like a Heart.

Yet Still Hearts (DK)
Yet Still Hearts is a newly formed three piece-band carving space between a framework of pop/rock and improvisational exploration.
Comprising vocalist (Bjørg Jessen), drummer (Ludvig Elling) and guitarist (Snorre Spange) the band rides the wave of hand-played instruments sounding exactly as they look - like a couple of instruments. In times of infinite opportunity, when expression is easily mistaken for endless layering and customisation, it’s easy to find oneself lost in the thicket of it all but DNA doesn’t need to be found - it’s already there
