JASPER TX
Jasper TX is the musical moniker of Sweden's Dag Rosenqvist. Using electric and acoustic guitar, piano, pump organ, melodica, glockenspiel, voice and various other instruments as a foundation for his compositions, Dag has managed to create his own musical universe. Elements of post rock, drone, improvisation, noise and lo-fi aesthetics are all filtered through a skewed melodic pop sensibility, often resulting in something quite unique. Over the last couple of years he has performed live in the USA, United Kingdom, Norway, Belgium, Sweden and Germany. His past live performances have been described as "physical", "intense" and "stunningly beautiful".
MATTHEW COLLINGS
Tiny delicate moments of intimacy and all-consuming noise; the music of British/Icelandic Composer and Sound Artist Matthew Collings is textural, melodic and often sonically overwhelming. Spanning the divide between Steve Reich and avant-garde guitar music, Collings has already found considerable praise from the international community for his previous releases under the curious moniker Sketches for Albinos, releasing 4 full lengths albums in the US, UK and Japan. His compositions include a wide range of instrumentation, from guitars, piano, organ and vocals to white noise, percussion, found sound and field recordings, theremin, brass and strings.
TEN
Ten's sound combines electronic keys, shoegaze noise and percussion with the acoustic sounds of glockenspiel and a string quartet to create a beautiful sound-scape that moves from slow, eerie and melancholic to pulsating and optimistic.
