In the organizer's words:

Since forming in Chicago in 2010, Bitchin Bajas have pursued all manner of sonic hypnotism, striving for a psychedelic listening experience that is equally reminiscent of Terry Riley's minimalism, the spacey krautrock of early Tangerine Dream and the harmonic drones of La Monte Young, but lending a rock concision to all of these influences. The trio's collaboration is characterized by the seemingly inexhaustible musical diversity of its members, guitarist and keyboardist Cooper Crain, woodwind player and keyboardist Rob Frye and bassist and keyboardist Dan Quinlivan.
Over the years, they have recorded with the singer Bonnie "Prince" Billy, the jazz formation Natural Information Society and Haley Fohr from Circuit des Yeux. Bitchin Bajas have constantly developed their own sound - dominated by synthetic keyboard sounds and infused with Fohr's improvisational excesses on flute and saxophone - and have always reconciled it with their irrepressible curiosity for sounds from all over the world.
In 2021, they released a series of famous Sun Ra pieces as synthesizer arrangements under the title "Switched on Ra" in homage to Wendy Carlos' classic "Switched on Bach". This was followed by the most consistent albums to date, "Bajascillators" (2022), "Totality" (2025, with Natural Information Society) and "Inland See" (2025).

With a sound that conjures up the spirit of the German kraut and psych rock pioneers, the three Franconian musicians from Acid Rooster celebrate exciting, free-thinking instrumental music on their partly written, partly improvised songs and have quickly established themselves on the international scene.
The character of the Acid Rooster releases is characterized by their respective development process. The cosmic, swirling "Ad Astra" LP (2022), for example, was created as a one-take during a private garden party.
The four tracks on the current album "Hall of Mirrors" (2024) were recorded in their basic form over two days in July 2022 by producer Jason Shaw at his Dystopia Studios in Glasgow. Only later did the trio add overdubs to the tracks, which turned "Hall of Mirrors" into an extremely multi-layered soundscape. In addition to guitars and percussion instruments, saxophone, shruti box, synthesizer, mellotron, flute, vibraphone and much more were added. The whole thing was mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Joseph Carra in his Crystal Studios in Melbourne (responsible for several albums by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Stonefield, Amyl and the Sniffers, among others), who was so immersed in the recordings that he enthusiastically called Jason Shaw to say that he hadn't had the chance to work on such a melodious and interesting release for years.
