Over the course of 12 hours, Iklectik brought together more than 25 artists to each play the noisiest live set they can. All ticket proceeds went towards The British Association for Performing Arts Medicine, a registered UK charity composed of health and creative industry professionals working together to support the performing arts. This event was also broadcast live on Resonance Extra: https://extra.resonance.fm/

Some of the performing artists also appeared on a limited run NOISEMAS cassette compilation, available to purchase during Noisemas II and subsequently from the Iklectik Sound & Bookshop. All profits from this release will also be donated to BAPAM. 

BAPAM (the British Association for Performing Arts Medicine) provides specialist support for mental and physical health problems, working with healthcare experts who understand the unique challenges in this community. Many of the BAPAM team have a background in performance themselves. Over the past two years, the number of people seeking BAPAM’s help with mental health concerns has more than doubled. In partnership with organisations including Help Musicians, Equity, The Musicians’ Union, PPL, PRS Members’ Fund and Dance Professionals Fund, BAPAM provide essential services, including free clinical advice, counselling and psychotherapy, plus free healthy practice training and peer support to share knowledge to improve health and enjoy sustainable creative careers.

An absolutely fantastic day, which saw Howlround ending the show with a ferociously heavy collaboration with Eduard Solaz – on an amplified Henry Hoover of all things! Thanks to Isa and the sound team for making the results sound suitable apocalyptic!
