Maxim Starcke (SA) 
 
Since the late 1990s Max has performed extensively with many bands, tours, productions and recording projects of varying genres and styles. He has appeared on several well-received albums, the most recent being the Lisa Bauer Quartet's Finding A New Way, as well as produced soundtracks for film, theatre and performance art productions. He also works as a music educator and graphic artist (having designed several album covers). Max is currently preparing material for a solo album due for release in late 2010 and is completing a Masters in Composition at the South African College of Music, University of Cape Town. His solo performance features explorations through distant, transporting soundscape collages and haunting melodic improvisations using soprano saxophone, electronics, field recordings and various other instruments.

Cirkus Minothi (NO) 

Post-improv from the boysroom, from and with love. Sentimental ticks and sarcastic tricks are Circus Minothis own mix. Long drones and sounding spells, healing screams from heaven and hell. ...Guitars and electronics on the deep end.

DIE, allroundhandwerker (NO)

Øyvind Skarbø´s solo band. A drummer known to many genres, but as "Die, allroundhandwerker" all boiles down to a mix of his own alternative percussion techniques, sometimes using the whole kit at the same time with the help of marbles, sticks and stones. Anticipating magic, patience is a key factor as his shows are static and minimalistic, yet completely unpredictable.

MotSol (NO)  (each doing a solo set)
 
motsol is the duo of vocalist Stine Janvin Motland and drummer Ståle Liavik Solberg. They started playing in the fall of 2004 when they met at the jazz department of The University of Stavanger. Since then they have explored the possibilities and limitations which are at hand when they work with improvised music in this setting - many times by turning the conventional roles of instrumentation upside down and exploring sounds of the more extreme kind for longer stretches. This you can hear on their record Strap On which are out on the London based FMR label.
This spring motsol are finishing their masters degree in improvisation at the Norwegian Academy of Music and they are both together and by themselves working with different bands and musicians like Frode Gjerstad, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Martin Küchen, Håvard Wiik, David Stackenäs, Kitchen Orchestra, Cocky Champion and DiskJokke, to name just a few. 
They will also participate in the finals of Jazzintro 2010, which is a launch programme for young bands held by the Norwegian Jazz Federation and Rikskonsertene.
