Resonance is an immersive solo bass performance that explores the legacy of Eberhard Weber through improvisation, innovation, and the use of modern looping and processing technologies. The program bridges the worlds of jazz, experimental, and electro-acoustic music, drawing listeners into evolving soundscapes that balance structure and spontaneity. Over the course of the performance, audiences experience a dialogue between tradition and innovationa re-imagining of Weber's influence alongside Jair-Rohm's own improvisational voice, honed over five decades of creative music-making. This is music that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Jair-Rohm Parker Wells is a bassist, composer, and sound artist with over fifty years of international experience. A pioneer of electro-acoustic and improvisational bass, he has collaborated with artists such as Reeves Gabrels (David Bowie, The Cure), Jonathan Kane (Swans), Eugene Chadbourne, and Elliott Sharp. He is a founding member of the trios Ripplewood, Dead Solstice, FlowSonic, and Gabrels, Kane, Parker Wells, and has released numerous recordings across genres from free improvisation to contemporary composition. Jair-Rohm also serves as a licensing agent for the Jerry Garcia Foundation and recently collaborated with IK Multimedia on the creation of Jerry Garcia Tone Models. His solo work integrates looping, extended techniques, and electronics to push the boundaries of the bass as a solo instrument. A meditative journey that feels both timeless and urgent.

Alison Cotton is a London based composer, vocalist, and multi instrumentalist whose music centres on viola, harmonium, and layered vocal drones. Originally from Sunderland, she first emerged in the UK underground in bands including Saloon, The Eighteenth Day of May, and more recently, The Left Outsides before beginning her solo career in 2018. Her debut, All Is Quiet at the Ancient Theatre introduced her long form, place inspired approach to composition. This was followed with Only Darkness Now and The Portrait You Painted of Me, both acclaimed for their immersive atmospheres and emotional depth. All three albums appeared in The Quietus’ End of Year lists, with Only Darkness Now topping their New Weird Britain chart and The Portrait You Painted of Me was also Folk Record of the Month in The Guardian. In 2024, Cotton released Engelchen, a work inspired by the lives of Ida and Louise Cook and their efforts to help refugees escape Nazi Germany. The album deepened her interest in narrative composition, blending historical research with her distinctive drone based sound. Her music has received regular airplay on BBC Radio 3 and BBC 6 Music, and she has recorded sessions for Late Junction, Riley & Coe, and The New Music Show. Cotton tours widely across the UK and Europe and has appeared at festivals including Le Guess Who?, Roadburn, Krankenhaus, Supernormal and Acid Horse. Her records have been released by Rocket Recordings, Feeding Tube Records, Cardinal Fuzz, Bloxham Tapes and Clay Pipe Music. In 2025, her track “The House of the Famous Poet” was featured in David Mackenzie’s film, Relay. Cotton continues to explore drone, experimental folk, and narrative forms, establishing herself as a singular voice in contemporary experimental music. "Cotton may expand folk’s raw emotions into more avant garde territories, but they still feel possessed by a blood-red muscle memory that goes back centuries". - The Guardian “The power of this music is simply awe-inspiring. When Alison Cotton plays, the world stands still.” The Quietus “Alison Cotton’s music speaks of places, people and stories not quite of this world, while orchestrating folk and drone elements meticulously, as if following an arcane ritual.” The Wire “Her exquisite voice calls to mind both the chill of the best British folk...and the psychedelic detail of Occitanian traditional song.” Uncut Magazine “Some of the most moving, powerful music you’re likely to hear this year.” NARC Magazine Please Please You & Brudenell Presents...

The Sleeves are the duo of Jack Cooper and Tara Cunningham, both likely known to you as one half of Modern Nature. Following an all-instrumental Mossy Tapes release last November, Cooper and Cunningham have recorded 10 new songs showcasing their vocal and guitar interplay with only the faintest echoes of prior efforts (individually or collectively), representing a fully realized leap forward from their largely improvised debut. 'The Sleeves' is a somewhat counter intuitive take on the guitar/vocal duo formula (provided you think there is such a thing) though it's not nearly as simplistic as "the space between the notes"-- it would be the height of exaggeration to say an album this simultaneously expansive and incandescent is unprecedented. But it doesn't happen nearly often enough,either. “What I initially found so familiar and exciting about playing guitar with Jack - and continually do - is that our approach to music is pretty much exactly the same. And that is - to celebrate the space that frames ideas, embraces silence, to play simply, simultaneously championing our respective unembellished guitar sounds, whilst looking for sounds that aren’t like a guitar at all - bells, birds, switching between radio stations etc. It’s rare to find someone who -whatever this means to you -‘gets it’- and I think when we started playing guitar together, we both knew the other had something of whatever our ‘it’ was.” Presented by Love Thy Neighbour.

Juni Habel's fragile finger-picked lullabies warm themselves by the open fire with her rich intimate voice atop twinkling arrangements and strange percussive instrumentation. Like glowing embers in the dark, these songs are odes to life and death, the beauty of belonging and human kinship with nature. The Norwegian’s first album in three years, 'Evergreen In Your Mind,' is released mid-April on Basin Rock, following the breakthrough success of her 'Carvings' LP. The songs remain delicate, Habel’s voice plays an elegant lead role - but there are fluctuations too. The small shifts in Habel’s sound mark a notable stride forward, with more focus on the groove. Playfulness was embraced and, perhaps most importantly, patience played a fundamental role in shaping every element of this incredible set of torch folk songs. Brushed with the gentle touch of pastoral psychedelia, these are songs that sit in half-light, in the gas between where we are and where we might be. "Sharing the same dusky light as Jessica Pratt’s records" - The Guardian "Life affirming songs that establish Habel as a distinctive, modern folk voice." - Uncut "Those smitten with Myriam Gendron and Josephine Foster's more direct missives will be instantly seduced" - MOJO "Quietly arresting folk music from one of the genre's most compelling new voices." - KLOF "Habel's voice is bright and clean like a blade of fresh glass - somewhere between Nick Drake and Julia Jacklin." - Stereogum Presented by Melting Vinyl.
