Drummer-electronic artist Axel Filip and electric-guitarist-sound-designer Gon Muruaga fuse rich textures, deep rhythms, and spontaneous interplay into an immersive soundscape where acoustic and electronic worlds collide.
Exploration, groove, and atmosphere take center stage—then a third, autonomous performer (a system trained in real time during the show) joins the dialogue, adding an ever-shifting layer that makes each performance truly unique experience.
Event free of charge.
