The festival is excited to announce a lead commission from Mark Fell “Interchange” featuring the Maltby Miners’ Welfare Band (est. 1911).

This composition grows across a palindromic time structure, with overlapping and intersecting patterns taken from the region's multiple bus lines - produced with Fell's long-time colleague, Italian composer Sandro Mussida. The players will be dispersed throughout the bus terminal, and tourists are allowed to explore the place for three hours.

Mark Fell and Rian Treanor will present a live show during the festival, using their self-developed online multiplayer drum machine, Intersymmetric Sequencer 1. During this, they will bring a live performance to the festival where attendees can engage in and interact on the sequencer after. Since September, they have performed on the sequencer with Beatrice Dillon, Errorsmith, Ewa Justka, and Nyege Nyege affiliates.
