The evening begins with the mesmerizing trio Children of Fish, who dive headfirst into raw improvisation with a poetic edge. Drawing on elements of free jazz, experimental rock, and textural soundscapes, the group crafts music that feels spontaneous yet deliberate — a delicate balance between intuition and structure. Their set unfolds like a living organism: unpredictable, breathing, and constantly evolving. Whether they’re leaning into chaos or locking into a hypnotic groove, Children of Fish invite the audience into an imaginative, sometimes unsettling, and always deeply human space.
At 21:00, Val Jeanty takes the stage with her signature fusion of ancestral Haitian rhythms and futuristic electronics. Known for her boundary-breaking “Afro-Electro” sound, Jeanty weaves a tapestry of spiritual energy, ambient textures, and ritualistic beats. Her live performances are immersive sound ceremonies — meditative and electrifying in equal measure. With every loop and layer, she connects past to present, making technology a vessel for memory and cultural continuity.
The final performance of the night comes from Gard Nilssen Acoustic Unity, a powerhouse trio known for their precision, momentum, and deep musical chemistry. Led by Norwegian drummer Gard Nilssen, with bassist Petter Eldh and saxophonist André Roligheten, the group delivers tightly woven interplay and explosive energy. Their music balances freedom with form — rooted in acoustic jazz traditions but stretching into unexpected, thrilling territory. As the name implies, their unity is their strength, and this closing set promises to be both a masterclass in communication and a visceral sonic rush.
