»Like minimal but loads more notes like video-games but with more song like jazz but much more gay like old music but more current like yummy sweet but more stick like paint … like drums and Dream Musics…« Alex Paxton’s genre-busting work opens the concert–as well as a festival of diverse boundary crossings.

»What really matters is that no one remains indifferent.«

(Milica Djordjevic)
