The Moon takes a highly individual approach to experimental music, playing improvised music that is influenced in equal parts by contemporary classical composition, jazz, noise and psych-rock. The results are visceral, unpredictable and virtuosic.

Hailing from the Washington, DC area, the young band Les Rhinocéros delivers a crazy world in sound, blending aspects of rock, world music, noise, ambient and jazz. The trio of teenagers was formed in 2008 while the players were still in high school, and has developed since then into an intense and wildly imaginative group that takes music to its extremes. Emotional, minimalistic, intense and grooving, this is music that goes beyond imagination to the edges of sanity.

The Warp/The Weft blends the traditional and the avant-garde; has the warmth of a hearth, pipe and sweater, and the edge of a honed straight razor; cozies up to yer heart; is: David Andersen on Bass/Keyboards, Christian Laura on drums, Shane Murphy on acoustic guitar and providing ocals, and Chris Pellnat on electric guitar. The band formed in 2012, in Poughkeepsie, New York.

Driven by a love for the raw guitar melodies of instrumental surf hits of the 60's, The Concrete Rivals combine the reverb-drenched sounds of The Ventures and Dick Dale with the straight-ahead rock and speed of The Who and early Metallica.

Silent Isle is the solo electric songwriting project of Brooklyn-based composer/performer Anastasia Clarke. Clarke uses layered vocals, extended guitar techniques, and a rainbow of effects processors and looping devices converge to smear conventional song forms. The results are massive, madrigal-like, piercing and wavering sonic collages.Twins of El Dorado is a modern art song ensemble featuring vocalist Kristin Slipp (Cuddle Magic, Art Bears) and trumpeter Joe Moffett (Ad Faunum). By turns playful, ritualistic, and downright bizarre, the duo performs original texts and music, and also explores the works of others, from medieval choral music to pieces by saxophonist Steve Lacy.
