Edinburgh’s acoustic improv uber-trio s i n k curate their monthly sound and light laboratory in the Anatomy Lecture Theatre. This month featuring performances from Marit and Rona, Various Moons and Tomás Sheridan, plus some extra special short film surprises!

Marit and Rona’s music is playful, borderless and thrilling. It glides from evocative near-classical movements through elegant polskas to buoyant reels, brought to life by Rona’s multi-personality fiddle virtuosity and Marit’s breath-taking mastery of the versatile låtmandola. In 2012 they won the coveted Danny Kyle Award at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections Festival and Rona was named BBC Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year. For Strange Attractor they will be augmenting their traditional set with some improvised experiments!

Various Moons are a loose Edinburgh-based musical collective performing for your delectation and delight the curious and eclectic songs of Colin Donati. They consist of Colin Donati (guitar/vocals) and Robin Mason (cello) with occasional guest appearances on percussion by Hamish Whyte.

Tomás Sheridan is an award winning, UK-based documentary director and producer who uses film to explore human relationships, social change and the place of individuals in a global society. Tomás will be showing and discussing his film Radiostan, which follows the 3500km  train line that connects Bishkek in impoverished Kyrgyzstan to Moscow. Made as part of the Cinetrain project this short experimental documentary was shot and edited over a 5week period and went on to win the silver Mikeldi at Zinebi Festival in Bilbao as well as screening at over 20 international festivals.
