Two contemporary music festivals: the UK-based hcmf// and Sacrum Profanum are joining forces to open up a stream of ideas and music. We build on the legacy of experimental music studios to build bridges between modern electronic music scenes and enable an inspiring exchange of programmes and artists on both sides of the North Sea. 

8:00 p.m. Mariam Rezaei (turntables) - British-Iranian turntablist and composer. She creates music at the intersection of noise, hip-hop and contemporary music, and combines these elements with vinyl manipulations and the turntable, which he treats as an instrument. 

9:30 p.m. Cath Roberts (electronic music, saxophone) - artist, saxophonist and organiser who explores free improvisation, composition and music at the intersection of these disciplines; recently, she has been improvising with electronics and objects (including without the saxophone), which has opened up entirely new areas of exploration. 

curated by Graham McKenzie

Venue: Teatr Nowy Proxima

The concert is organised as part of the Across the North Sea project in partnership with the hcmf// festival. At the same time, two artists already well known to the Sacrum Profanum audiences will perform in Huddersfield: Aleksandra Słyż and Martyna Basta.  

The project is supported by the British Council in Poland as part of UK/Poland Season 2025
