James Holden & Wacław Zimpel + drift FM — Pavel Milyakov (buttechno) & Ugnė Uma

The event will feature long-standing collaborators James Holden and Wacław Zimpel - who bring their instrumental explorations and hypnotic improvisation to the festival, the British electronic musician and Polish clarinetist grounded in a mutual love for trance-like repetition and improvisation.

Plus, a UK-premiere, Pavel Milyakov (buttechno) who unites with Ugnė Uma as DRIFT FM - a live performance that melds Uma’s abstract-pop vocals with Milyakov’s hazy atmospheric electronics.
