Új Bála: noise, psychedelia & the fringes of techno
Sonaura: Dreamy drones, crunchy tape loops and found sounds.
A New Question: Twisted sounds; absurdist poetry

Gábor Kovács is a Budapest/Brussels-based musician and visual artist, also an alumni artist of the Shape platform. Active in a number of projects, he works with a wide range of genres and sounds, although his main output is Új Bála. Új Bála merges noise, psychedelia and fringes of techno and summons the rhythmic skeletons of dance music to bring order to his backdrop of mangled synth noises. In the past couple of years Új Bála released on labels such as Plaque, Baba Vanga, Altered States Tapes, Czaszka Rec.,Lost Dogs Entertainment or Dalmata Daniel, performed at festivals like Schiev(Bruxelles), Les Siestes Électroniques(Toulouse), Novas Frequencias(Rio de Janeiro), Rokolectiv(Bucharest), Tauron Nowa Muzyka (Katowice), Pohoda(Trencin), Next Festival(Bratislava), Uh Fest(Budapest) and played in clubs and DIY spaces all across Europe with his live act.

A New Question is a solo project that takes organic sounds and twists them electronically, interwoven with absurdist poetry and cut-up monologue to create moments that attempt to communicate something that neither sound design or poetry can quite capture alone

Chris [Symmetrical Forces] creates live visuals for each performance using his own lo-fi footage, dusty VHS tapes and obscure videos from the internet to create futuristic images from the past overlayed with out-of-reach memories and vague fragments of lost visions.

The Rossi Bar is a small grade II building, and they are restricted with how they can improve access for anyone with mobility issues. The live music venue is located in the basement, which can only be accessed by a short spiral staircase. More accessibility information and images of the venue are in this document:

f.Ampism: Immersive improvised synth & sample gloop
Yiskāh: Drones & field recordings; generative & interactive natural environments
Dale Frost: Drums and Synthesiser; exploring rhythm through process

Paul Wilson has been playing around with sound for 20 years. As f.Ampism he has released albums on Ikuisuus, Lal Lal Lal, Chocolate Monk, Giant Tank and more. He is currently working on an album for Brighton-based Hive MInd. He contributed to the 2018 Kemialliset Ystavat LP “Siipe Empii” and is currently putting the finishing touches to a collaborative duo with Jan Anderzen (Kaloja) and a trio collaboration with Jani Hirvonen (Uton) and Johannes Schebler (Baldruin).
Also in 2018 he attended a 5 day immersive workshop/retreat in the French Pyrenees with ambient legend Laraaji. This included body and breath work as well as deep listening and sonic experimentation. He hosts a monthly radio show, “The Infinite Inward” on Resonance Extra, currently in its 5th year.

 Yiskāh is the performance alias of Jessica Beechey, a Cornish sound artist, performer, sound designer and live sound engineer based between London and Cornwall. A Falmouth University BA(Hons) Creative Music Technology graduate, she is currently in her final year of MMus Sonic Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London. Working primarily as a Sound Artist, she performs and produces works within the realm of drone music, using field recordings and interactive & generative means of creation to explore natural environments.

 Dale Frost is a drummer and electronic musician who performs solo using an acoustic drum kit connected to a sampler and loop pedal, allowing him to create loops and layer sounds in real-time. His previous work has explored networked, interconnected rhythms, as in his ‘Perm Octo Clavè Induction Set’ project.
Currently, Frost is exploring the use of audio sampling and resampling to generate polyrhythms in his solo drum kit performances. His music uses a blend of organic and synthetic sounds, drawing influences from minimalism, post-rock, IDM, and free jazz.
