The participants are placed in groups ranging from 2 to 8 musicians, and each group overlaps with the previous and the next. The musicians come from a wide range of backgrounds (free-jazz, 20th century composition, electronic, ambient, experimental noise, etc) and play a variety of instruments ranging from standard jazz fare to laptop computers to roofing nails and dry ice. The lineup of musicians onstage will change every 20 minutes (on average), allowing for a large number of musical combinations. Based on the Baltimore event of the same name created by John Berndt for July 2002, this event is organized by Matt Davignon.
