Distractfold

Manchester-based ensemble, Distractfold, is a group of performers, composers and curators all acting out of shared love, passion and interest in the music and culture of our times. Coming from different continents, backgrounds and having received a diverse education, together they create a nexus of ideas and influences which all contribute towards the ensemble’s unique voice and identity. They perform acoustic, mixed and electroacoustic music of their peers, alongside music of the more established composers with whom they have formed close collaborations and friendships.

Kinetic Manchester

At Kinetic, we programme and commission modern experimental arts from a humanist perspective, curating  experiences which thoroughly consider location and explore environment-performance-human relationships. Our roots are cemented in experimental music but through these interests, there are no disciplinary boundaries in our programming.  We tend to present experiences outside of traditionally used spaces, and encourage more communicative, intimate relationships between audiences, performers and artists. Kinetic is based in Manchester, UK, and always strives to find a balance between supporting local, emerging artists and more established national and internationally renowned artists.

Summit

About

Summit is a new monthly night for the Salford arts scene, offering musicians, performers and others an opportunity to play and test ideas.

A joint venture between theatremaker Mark Reid and musician Rob Thorpe, it is an informal regular event that aims to be a space for all manner of artists to have a platform. They are especially encouraging of alternative, multi-disciplinary work and artists working within contemporary performance practice and the alternative music scene. It has a lo-fi ethos, a haven for the curious. Alongside this there are networking opportunities and we will be exploring ways of recording and streaming events.
