 Fay Victor often makes jazz versions of well-known compositions by Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks, The Doors, Randy Newman, Eric Dolphy. In late 1990s Fay began composing herself and in 2001 her debut album "Darker than Blue" was released on Timeless Records. Her lyrics touches upon broad topics and her melodies are natural and easy. Victor's signature style is all about original combination of traditional song forms and emotionally rich jazz improvisations. Fay's last album "Cosmos" (2007) was called "tough, gusty, brilliant" by jazz press. "It's a borderless, cacophonous, in-your-face experiment in tone poetry and free-form expression." - Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes. Fay Victor's projects combine jazz tradition, Ornette Coleman and late Coltrane-like improvisations giving a true feeling of musical flight. Victor has appeared at venues/festivals including the Bowery Poetry Cub, The Stone, Zebulon, Galapagos Art Space, Barbes, Tonic, the 55 Bar, The HOWL Festival and the River to River Festival.

The Finnish outfit Murmansk declares its love to shoegazing and play accordingly. Their music is bass-driven, and melancholic melodies come wrapped in distorted guitars, female vocals and dramatic drums. In her manner their vocalist reminds both of Shirley Manson and Tarja Turunen but sings as if she plays in Guano Apes. The band's debut album "Chinese Locks" was released in 2008 to be followed by "Eleven Eyes To Shade". Murmansk has shared stage so far with such acts as Liars, Kinski, A Place To Bury Strangers, dEUS and Zombie Zombie. Slow shadowy post-punk – and no apocalypses whatever!

22:00 | Therese Aune (Norway) |
|
|
|
|
Therese Aune plays evocative dream pop on piano, toy piano and other intruments as she likes. She started playing piano as a ten year old, and has over time developed a personal expression which at times is restrained and calm and occasionally ramshackle and playful. In contrast to the slightly restrictive forms of the piano, she has a powerful and raw voice. She makes music which gives the ears something to work with, and seeks to shape something that people cannot be indifferent to. So far the music has taken her to festivals like Slottsfjell and Iceland Airwaves, and the song “Chameleon” was voted in as Ukas Urort (Track of the Week) on P3 (Norwegian radio) in 2008.
