The Seep are a new group: Rob Churm Vox & 3-String Guitar, Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh Viola and Eva Gnatiuk Drums. The Seep are dedicated Acolytes of The Corduroy Plunderground performing wonky drones and melodic improvisations on loose strings and tape. Read The Seep by Chana Porter for tangential colour… a benevolent invisible alien comes to earth and makes all your dreams come true!

Shakeeb Abu Hamdan’s sound-based work spans performance, experimental composition and sound for film. He plays an unorthodox setup of drums, bells and cymbals which he augments and amplifies with surface transducers, microphones, pitch and rhythmic modulation effects, modified megaphones and other electronic devices. Performances unfold along loose structures that leave space for generative accidents and improvisation, responding to the instabilities of feedback manipulation and other unpredictable interactions built into his instrumental system.

Relics are an experimental sound project evolving from a collaboration between conceptual artist Maria-Cristina Onea, sculptor Christopher Roberts and musician, Jago Oswell. The project blends sculptural instruments, reclaimed materials, and immersive performance. Influenced by Pauline Oliveros’ Deep Listening practice, their work explores resonance, attention, and the relationship between sound, space, and material. Operating between noise music, sound art, and sculpture, Relics create raw, tactile performances in distinctive ambisonic environments. In 2025, they performed at Brompton Cemetery Chapel and as part of the Liverpool Biennial in an abandoned barn.
