Slow Slow Loris is a duo whose industrial noise melodies merge with the visceral avant-garde to create epic and delicate storms of sound that worship the unknown, a sonic sorcery through voice and electronics. They have released five albums on Staaltape, Cloister Recordings, and Zaetraom, and have toured extensively throughout Europe, Russia, and the USA. They are based between Berlin, Germany and the United States. They recently performed at Wrocaw Industrial Festival, sharing the bill with Test Dept, Portion Control, and John Duncan, and have previously appeared alongside artists as diverse as Brighter Death Now and Trepaneringsritualen to Asmus Tietchens and Rashad Becker.

Learn Not To is the video and sound project of Josh Glinis. Josh uses VHS tapes, editing gear, synthesizers and video feedback to warp old educational and found footage into mesmerizing patterns and layers.
--
Let Me Hear You showcases the talented Jimmy Brown, famous from the bands Dust From 1000 Yrs, Fjord Explorer, =Terrorist=, Goodhands Team and more. Jimmy uses an array of synthesizers and gear, often employing guitar, to create an immersive sound that defies genre.

Imber Indus comprises the ImberLings, ImberBeings, and ImberThings: the fabric tinkerings of Carrie Weaver. Ornamental and playful, the Beings of Imber Indus are polymorphic species that span many realms. Mineral, animal, and plant forms evolve together in dynamic patterns, crystalizing into soft sculptures. Beneath their spikes, wings, petals, and tentacles there is a geometric framework of nodes from which they spring. This structure is a recursive pattern and grows exponentially. Its praxis of regular growth is reminiscent of the flowing forms of water, the unfurling of plants, and other similar phenomena in nature and, like these phenomena, is soothing to the mind.
