Sound artist Martins Rokis from Riga has been experimenting with electronic music since the late 90s. Working with sound and visuals in different contexts, forms and exploring the multimodality of human perception via installations, live performances or works for multichannel systems, he has presented his artistic activities locally and internationally. N1L is his side-project exploring various templates of electronic club music cultures in the broadest sense of the term. Less concerned with formal or conceptual aspects N1L produces pulsating sound-escapes that echoes both nostalgia and futurism. N1L’s debut EP for Lee Gamble’s upcoming label is scheduled for 2015.

Nate Wooley’s solo playing has often been cited as being a part of an international revolution in improvised trumpet.  Along with Peter Evans and Greg Kelley, Wooley is considered one of the leading lights of the American movement to redefine the physical boundaries of the horn, as well as demolishing the way trumpet is perceived in a historical context still overshadowed by Louis Armstrong.  A combination of vocalization, extreme extended technique, noise and drone aesthetics, amplification and feedback, and compositional rigor has led one reviewer to call his solo recordings “exquisitely hostile”.
