At least two sets with potential impromptu additional sets.
Ravenna Escaleira is a saxophonist from Porto, now based in Lisbon. Earlier she made electronic music, from harsh noise to ambient textures, under the name RVN. In recent years she has built her saxophone language playing on the streets of various cities. She comes from a punk background and names Albert Ayler as a decisive influence. Her album Vagabondage came out on the New York label Relative Pitch Records in 2025.
Jure Boršič is a Slovenian saxophonist and clarinetist, born in Ptuj in 1994. He left the Conservatory of Music in Trieste and joined Zlatko Kaučič’s Kombo School. He blows, bites, squeaks and squeals in bands including Oholo!, TiTiTi, Koromač and Shoe & Shoelace, his duo with Jaka Berger.
John Dikeman is an American saxophonist and composer based in Ostend. He has spent about 25 years in jazz, free improvisation and experimental music. He co-founded Cactus Truck, leads Old Adam on Turtle Island, and has a trio with William Parker and Hamid Drake. He has played at the Bimhuis, the North Sea Jazz Festival, the London Jazz Festival and Lincoln Center.
Peter Jacquemyn (born 1963, Schaarbeek) moves easily between visual art and music. As a sculptor he attacks tree trunks with axe and chainsaw, and he plays his double bass with the same unbridled energy. He is self-taught on bass, and his playing is intensely physical: drink cans, nails, two bows, sometimes all at once.
Žiga Ipavec is a drummer and percussionist from Šempeter pri Gorici, born in 1993, who plays in groups such as Koromač, Nesesari Kakalulu and Kavasutra. He now lives in Brussels. His solo work draws out the lyrical, meditative side of rhythm and texture, mixing contemporary classical and free jazz. He also has a long-running duo, Tolmači, with Brussels-based saxophonist Andrej Thompson.
