Giancarlo Bracchi (free103point9, interstitial)
Free admission, doors 8 p.m., show 9 p.m., ends midnight. Tetuzi Akiyama
Born in 1964 in Tokyo. Started playing guitar when 13 years old. After some influences from Folk, Rock and Blues, started playing Improvisation in 1981. Founded three piece improv band "Madhar" in 1987. Besides this, has been members of many other units like "Mongoose", "Bject", "Nijiumu" "Amephone", "Hikyo String Quartet" and recently "Satanic Abandoned Rock'n'Roll Society". After releasing the first solo album "Relator"(slub music, 2001), in which used an acoustic guitar with a mixture feeling of country blues and free improv, plays solo more than ever in styles of both acoustic and electric guitars, turntable without records, etc. Using a prepared resonator guitar with a Samurai sword, released the second solo "Resophonie"(a bruit secret, 2002) which can be described as sonic sculpture only by the guitar. In 2003, third solo "Don't Forget to Boogie!" (idea records) was released. Tribute to the instrument, playing in minimal one chord Boogie/Rock/Blues guitar style with a vintage electric guitar tone. In the same year, made a collaboration work with a Japanese young painter, Yoko Naito, contributing tape-delayed electric guitar music for her wood block paintings. A document live album from 2005, "Route 13 to the Gates of Hell: Live in Tokyo" (headz) was selected in the 50 albums of the year by the Wire magazine. Recently, started releasing "official bootleg series" from labels like Esquilo (Portugal)and Utech Records (Milwaukee). Beside these, has played and recorded with many musicians in and outside of Japan and has released a lot of albums. Recently touring around U.S.A., Europe and down under to collaborate with local musicians as well as as a solo Artist to show up to festivals like "What is Music?" (Australia, 2002), Alt Music (New Zealand, 2002 & 2004), Amplify (Tokyo, 2002 & New York, 2003), Musique Action (France, 2003 & 2005), Musiques Innovatrices (France, 2003), Uchiage (Berlin & Vienna, 2004) and Klangspuren (Innsbruck 2005) and Instal (Scotland, 2005).

Naval Cassidy & the Hands of Orlak
impeachment of the oversight quilt If Chaluala Bankhead ever existed, she would not have had anything to do with Naval Cassidy and the Hands of Orlak. They make Instant Cinema right before your very eyes, with cameras, electronics, video clips, and lots of props. This special program is a collision of damaged human collateral and broken, forgotten artifacts of today's age gone tomorrow.
Uncle Woody Sullender
Under the not-so-clever moniker of "Uncle Woody Sullender", Woody Sullender performs improvised banjo music, playing with and against the cultural baggage of the instrument. While alluding to the "traditional" musics of his home states of Virginia and North Carolina, he explores a diverse plane of plucked string music from around the world as well as incorporating punk, noise, free jazz, etc.
