In order of appearance:
End Motion
BYSH
Open Seki
Sulky Driver
End Motion:

End Motion iscomprised of Chicago based musicians Brian Harding (Zelienople), Erik Sowa (Snek Trio), P.M. Tummala (Zelienople), and Nick Turner (Tyresta). They formed in 2024 with the intention of creating semi-improvised, minimal, ambient and drone music in a band context.

BYSH:

BYSH is a collective of improvisers that includes Mai Sugimoto on woodwinds, Andrew Scott Young on bass, Ben Baker Billington on synthesizer, and Bill Harris on drums. The quartet moves interactively through waves of intensity and curiosity over the course of these pieces, with the static and bubbling froth of Billington's electronics interjecting commentary into side-conversations between bowed harmonics from Young, rushes of rolling percussion from Harris, and Sugimoto's horns and spare percussion mediating the entire exchange.

Mai Sugimoto - Woodwinds, Percussion
Ben Baker Billington - Synthesizer
Andrew Scott Young - Bass
Bill Harris - Drums

Open Seki:

Open Seki is the newly formed collaboration of John Biggers and Nathan Tucker. For their first ever set—with the help of various electronics, lapsteel, and mixing board manipulation—the goal is a full-spectrum exploration of spatial and melodic themes.

Nathan Tucker: For a main vocation, a long career in applied textiles has become a great influence on his linear compositions, with a special focus on reimagining color palettes and textures. (Previous releases on Skam, Consumers Research & Development, Plus Tapes, Wobblyhead, Lumpen, Johann's Face)

John Biggers: A professor and filmmaker from Nashville, KY with an unhealthy obsession with oscillations and CB pedals. Loves mohair and sequins.

Sulky Driver:

Sulky Driver is a moniker of Donny Mahlmeister, an Oak Park based musician and designer with a focus on improvised music using guitar, lap steel and other electronic processing. His recent solo work on Trouble in Mind Records encompasses elements of minimalist soundscapes intersected with lilting melodicism. For this set, Donny will be playing pieces of solo work with the help of drummer Jason Batchko and bass player Glenn Rischke.
