6pm - Electro-pop and rock with experimentation with Modular Synthesis. Join solo act O’blivion for a conceptual show with visuals that will invite you to experience O'blivion with themes such as death, rebirth and spiritual transformation in his Solar Eclipse with his show Death in the Golden Circle: the rebirth of a star.

O'blivion is the act persona of Vitor Rennan, a Brazilian performer and filmmaker that has been constructing extensive research on his roots, childhood, intimacy and his relationship with his queer identity through multimedia such as music, film and performance.

7pm - Noah Kelly - indie / power pop singer-songwriter Noah Kelly performs a solo set from his forthcoming debut album.

Noah Kelly is a South London-based solo artist who specialises in a melodic style of Indie/Power Pop that is predominantly inspired by 60s/70s songwriters such as Burt Bacharach, Gordon Lightfoot and Jimmy Webb. He has previously written and recorded with Brendan Lynch (Paul Weller/Primal Scream) and Saint Etienne.

7.45pm - Jonathan Kotik - Indie rock/alternative folk singer-songwriter and producer Jonathan Kotik will play songs from his albums, including Everything has been done by now, so now, everything is possible…, material from the upcoming Go Big & Go Home, and songs never performed before. Semi-acoustic, with visuals derived from his installation work, his music runs introspective and comes out euphoric.

8pm Matt Creighton “Up From The Hand, Down From The Heart "
Join Matt for his MFA show presenting the Circle Gesture System - a novel real time gesture processor, attached to an agile and diverse synthesis engine with a specially designed tuning system. He explores the capabilities of this new instrument in dialogue with Sammy Margolis (MS20, tape, guitar pedals) and Kuzey Tekinalp (Ableton Live) through a long-form structured improvisation.

Matt’s approach to the improvising ensemble is deeply human and social. He’s interested not just in new tools and sounds, but in the roles and relationships those tools enable. Drawing on a varied career in technology, academia and the arts, Down From The Heart traces the oldest of ideas - communion, solace, transcendance - in the newest of new media.
