Music comes with a twofold knack for thoughtful no less than spontaneous decisions; it seems that way when the ears linger on Beek's upcoming concert night, which gradually builds up tension by virtue of its steadiness.

Pausa A Pausa + Sara Neidorf
Pausa A Pausa is a formation consisting of Lun Ario, GubbiAnn, and Ernesto Cazavamos, building upon and underneath the realms of improvisation. This evening, they are taken by the hand of drummer Sara Neidorf. Together, they take their time or make time by exploring the acoustic merits of each performer's building block, as they describe in the listening and sharing of signals. Sara, who oscillates through six sound projects with consistency to doom, joined the group for a very holistic session in 2022 and will repeatedly (as drummers do) delve into the drums as both a rhythmic and a melodic instrument.

Han
Listening to Glasgow-based Han or reading her multi-usage blog ‘boosterhooch’ (also her DJ alias), one easily figures out that she is jumping through the extended spheres of music and its production. Han's release ‘The Institute of Ecoterrorism’ on the mysterious label GLARC explores the field of storytelling accompanied by the electronic architecture of this fictional institute. Other works by Han feature minimalist electronic infrastructure flooded by a wave of noise.

Ilpo Väisänen
Ilpo Väisänen and Mika Vainio formed the minimal duo Pan Sonic. This evening, Ilpo contributes as a soloist, continuing the legacy of fine-tuned gestures. These days, and especially while listening to Ilpo's latest release on the Ukrainian label 'I Shall Sing Until My Land Is Free,' there is a noticeable lean towards warmer associations of electronic minimalism.

Defetro (DJ)
Searching, sketching, and a softened euphoria. Local DJ Defetro's thoughts on music are auditory in his arranged sets - the music conveys the unrest through eerily transformed acoustic elements, sunken bass, resonant drones, and strident percussive layers.
