      our audiovisual labyrinth of the evening. Birthday cake, fusion food and plenty of drinks are arranged to tantalize our other senses.
      Performances by: Testuo Kogawa and Jacques Foschia (Transversal Transmission) - Isjtar & Masato Tsutsui (Mai, premature birth of a mind) - So-on (Words in Freedom) - Society of Algorithm (Paskian Whispers) - Billy Bultheel & Ronald Boersen (Exhaust) - Ronald Boersen (Frames, Study 1b) - Els Viaene (An imaginary place for invisible sounds) - Irvic D'Olivier (SilenceRadio.org - Remix for AB2007).
