EMMA HUNTER https://www.emmahuntermusic.co.uk/
1950s-inspired guitarist, and loop-maker Emma Hunter, together with the trip-hop-inspired percussionist Tom Bruce, and bassist Hayley Wright, create evocative, sun-blistered soundscapes. Intricate melodies and harmonies lie at the heart of every darkly imaginative song.
Emma Hunter is an experienced singer and songwriter working collaboration with Tom’s and Hayley. Their influences include; PJ Harvey, Imogen Heap and the mysticism of Ancient Mexico. Sharon Van Etten and Anna Calvi are her most prolific comparisons. They have played the main stage of Truck Festival, Cornbury Festival, the Oxford 02 Academy and other venues throughout England and have features in numerous music magazines both published and online and have been played on radio shows around the world.

SHARRON KRAUS https://sharronkraus.com/
Sharron Kraus's musical career spans 2 decades and ranges across sparse acoustic songs, layered soundscapes, improvisations and psychedelia. She has performed solo, with a full band, as well as in collaboration with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. She has recorded with a wide range of collaborators, including members of Espers, Bellowhead and Loop Guru, and writers Helen Tookey and Justin Hopper.
Over the years Kraus's music has been given many labels - dark folk, acid folk, psych, experimental, hauntology, folk horror – but has defied categorisation and remained distinctly her own. Her current projects include creating soundscapes for poetry, composing for recorder ensemble and recording a synth pop album inspired by songs of the female troubadours of the 12th century.

OCTAVIA FREUD www.octaviafreud.co.uk
Octavia Freud is the alter ego of Mancunian musician Martin Andrews when he makes personal and political vocal electronic songs. He is part of Oxford’s flourishing DIY electronic scene. His latest album, ‘RLTNSHPS’ explores a range of different relationships from the ones with his family and friends to those with big tech, the social contract with government and
his own sense of creative success. The album mixes social commentary, self-examination and vivid storytelling with a mixture of acid house, disco and synth-pop. His music has been played on BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing and featured on BBC Radio Four.
