Artists
Nik Colk Void is an electronic musician and artist with a vast reputation in experimental shapeshifting and collaboration. Void’s interests lie in the unconventional encounters with her tools, both analogue and digital, as a means of expression. Her key instruments are voice, guitar, and modular euro-rack systems engaging in a new language using extended technique and cut-up sampling through synthesis. As a result, the blends of her compositional tracks lean towards techno, club, experimental and noise.
UK based, Void has produced eight acclaimed studio albums with her musical groups Factory Floor (Gabriel Gurnsey & Dominic Butler), Carter Tutti Void (Chris Carter & Cosey Fanni Tutti) and NPVR with the late Peter Rehberg, releasing via Mute, DFA, Blast First, Editions Mego and Industrial.
Loula Yorke is an award-winning composer, sound artist and modular synthesist based in the UK.
Loula plays live music with her custom-built wide-frequency analogue modular synthesiser, creating deep trance-inducing sounds at the intersection between rave, minimalism and drone. Her sets explore movement and psychoacoustics: the way systems loop and feed back; melodies stretch like waking limbs; arpeggios ripple and fold, while circuits glint and return, changed.
Loula has performed widely, weaving her synthetic patterns into captivating sound worlds in churches, warehouses and arts centres such as Café Oto in London, Boundaries Festival in Sunderland and Tabakalera in San Sebastián. Loula has released music on labels such as Truxalis, DiN, quiet details and Castles in Space; albums which have made AOTY lists in Electronic Sound and Moonbuilding two years running, and been featured in sonic arts magazines such as The Wire, The Quietus, Zen Sounds, First Floor and more.
Marcela Rada is a doctoral researcher in Audio Engineering at the University of Surrey, UK. Her research focuses on workflows and guidelines for immersive music production, aiming to bridge creative practice with immersive audio technology. She holds a Master's degree in Music Production, Technology, and Innovation from Berklee College of Music, and a Bachelor's degree in Music with a major in Digital Audio Arts from the University of Lethbridge. She has lectured internationally on music production, immersive audio, and recording and mixing techniques, and has held academic and instructional roles at institutions including Algonquin College, the University of Lethbridge, and University of the Arts London. Her work has been presented at major academic and industry conferences worldwide, including AES, IBC, ADE, SXSW, and XP Music Futures.
Marcela will provide the technical link between performing artists and collaborators, and the sound system.
Ireen Amnes is a Berlin/London-based artist, producer, and DJ known for her genre-defying approach to the leftfield side of electronic music, blending noise, industrial elements, and experimental sounds. Originally a metal singer and instrumentalist, she transitioned into electronic music, crafting moody, hardware-driven live sets that merge melancholic atmospheres with distorted rhythms. In 2015, she founded Under My Feet., a collective and label exploring power electronics and experimental sounds.
As a resident DJ at Tresor Berlin, Ireen’s performances fuse avant-garde textures with techno rhythms, earning her spots at iconic venues like Berghain, Kraftwerk, Basement NY, and festivals such as Atonal and CTM Vorspiel. Renowned for her genre-defying productions, Ireen has collaborated with acclaimed artists like Drew McDowall of Coil, Sorcery, Chloe Lula, and Kamikaze Space Programme. She and Sorcery won the prestigious Raster open call for Soundtrack Europe 2025, with their work featured in a project for the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025. Ireen also contributed to Imogen Heap's track What Have You Done to Me, further cementing her reputation as a versatile artist.

The Ice House
A Grade II listed building of brick construction with a thatched roof, the Great Yarmouth Ice House, once one of a pair, is now the only one of its kind left in the country. As support and investment have been raised, Out There Arts has been developing the project and is set to realise it in full throughout the rest of the year and beyond. After years of careful restoration, it is now reimagined as a bold cultural centre for creativity, heritage, and community.
The building has been repurposed into an arts and circus training hub, with a unique interior ideal for fluid movement and a collaborative focus. This imaginative and creative use of the building will further develop the town’s reputation as the capital of circus in the UK as well as further link the town’s fishing and circus heritage.
The Ice House is now a national centre for outdoor arts and circus, thanks to a £2M grant from National Lottery Heritage Fund. Further funding for the project includes £450,000 from Great Yarmouth Town Deal Funded by HM Government, £350,000 from the Architectural Heritage Fund, £50,000 from the Great Yarmouth Borough Council and £20,000 from Brineflow as well as match funding from Out There Arts who are managing the project.
