Core of the Coalman (UK) Jorge Boehringer is an interdisciplinary artist, composer, performer, and researcher based in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. His eclectic and experimental practice unfolds through installed acoustic environments, composed music, spatial sound, performance, writing, and visual art. Through sound and listening, he investigates attention, instability, and temporality within ecological contexts as well as everyday life. Boehringer regularly performs solo under the noise-project moniker Core of the Coalman, an open sketchbook in continual evolution, articulated through both old and new instruments and media. He also releases computer music under the name On Growth and Form, and performs as half of the duo Kneeling Coats with composer and musician Eleanor Cully, who is also his collaborator in all other areas of work. He is currently a research fellow in sonification design and aesthetics at Newcastle University. www.coreofthecoalman.bandcamp.com www.jorgeboehringer.com

Rouilleux (CZ) Since the debut Zugzwang, Rouilleux has belonged among the hidden treasures of the Czech scene. Luboš Rezek’s project is defined by introverted, ambition-free songwriting that organically weaves together drone, noise, and fragments of guitar-based genres. Rouilleux never fully relinquishes the freedom of amorphous forms, yet his pieces still function as powerful songs — thanks to his ability to write a striking melody, but above all due to his extraordinary voice, whose urgency carries a subtle undertone of despair. The newest release, The Fold, presents this many-configurations project in its most radical form: a 17-minute piece that assembles itself differently each time from prepared fragments. Ultimate freedom that nevertheless sounds entirely organic. www.rouilleux.bandcamp.com www.thefold.rouilleux.net

Mooncup Accident (CZ) The project of Prague-based musician, curator, and Klang-und-Krach label founder Jan Klamm (from 2013–2017 a duo with poet and visual artist Kristina Láníková) focuses on the manipulation of sonic accidents. While the glitch aesthetics of the 1990s — tied to laptop music — were built on beautifying discarded sounds, Mooncup Accident imaginatively returns to a time when the word glitch meant nothing more than a malfunction. Voice, dictaphones, guitar, piezo pickups, and neurotic bodily movements all cultivate an ethics of the dump: the scraps do not form carefully designed collages; they pile up into uneven heap-like masses. Mooncup Accident’s work — like any proper landfill — is disorganized, stratified, a little dangerous, yet strangely alluring. You may find something fascinating in it… or nothing at all. www.mooncupaccident.bandcamp.com
