- 19 :55 Cian Nugent
- 20 :50 Acetylène
- 21 :45 Liam Grant
Aonghus McEvoy
Dublin native Aonghus McEvoy delves into the improvisational as much as the compositional, finding fluency in solo outings as well as through collaborations with artists such as Jon Collin, Damo Suzuki, Rhodri Davies, Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh (<3) and Natalia Beylis and Willie Stewart as Woven Skull.
Aya Suzuki
Multi-instrumentalist Aya Suzuki is, in no uncertain terms, a compelling musician who skillfully infuses classical training with pure artistic vision. With this show, we celebrate her debut release on KRAAK, Winged Seeds, which was recorded during her 2023 residency at STUK and is a testament to her virtuosity.
Cian Nugent
The other Dublin native of the night has traveled these lands and beyond for well over a decade: guitarist Cian Nugent has been accompanying artists like Ryley Walker, Angel Olsen and Steve Gunn as part of their touring bands, while also deepening a unique style that combines folk, blues and psychedelia into a cultish singer-songwriter revivalist trip.
Acetylène
French multi-instrumentalist Lise Barkas uses bagpipes and hurdy gurdys (including a hand-me-down from none other than Yann Gourdon) to draw out time and space with intrinsic drones. Brussels-based artist and “media saboteur” Yann Leguay has been deconstructing sound and its sources through dissecting and recomposing hardware, transforming turntables, hard drives, angle grinders and other unsuspecting appliances into instruments.
Liam Grant
Liam Grant is only 23 years young and already following in the footsteps of giants. He takes the blueprints of the Takoma catalog through a contemporary lens.
