stravsky & pelè

Following their release on cult label STROOM, incurable romantics stravsky & pelè – aka Susannah Stark and Dalia Neis of Dali Muru & The Polyphonic Swarm – preview their forthcoming new album of radically inclusive love songs. Reducing the love song tradition to a gauzy whisper, the pair strip devotion to the bare bones. For this special live performance they are joined by Paul Tasker on bass, with Dalia Neis and Ako Zada playing the traditional Middle Eastern instruments that inspired the duo, including the daff drum and the woodwind baliban.

Susannah Stark - vocals, harmonium, synth, ukelele
Dalia Neis - vocals, bass ukelele, cifçeli, sampler
Ako Zada - vocals, baliban, daff
Paul Tasker - bass guitar

I Want to Lose My Mind and Never Find It - JOON & Veronica Petukhov

This collaboration between electronic musician JOON (aka Yasmin Kuymizakis) and digital artist and VJ Veronica Petukhov is a truly interactive spectacle in which musical and visual elements constantly and simultaneously affect one another, and where the two exist in constant balance. Responding to JOON’s uptempo, beats-forward Italo-disco soundtrack, Veronica Petukhov will create live visuals to accompany each track, pulling in elements from webcam feeds and mixing analogue and digital effects. A lively, colourful collision of sound and vision.

Supported by Malta Arts Council and developed during Cryptic’s Cove Park Residency 2026.
