Luiz de Campos, beatbox & oboe; Vitor Noah, guitar; Lucy Humphris, trumpet; Irantzu Agirre, harp; Rachel Susser, flute; Lucas Jordan, flute; Magdalena Petrovich, cello; Leona Crasi, piano.
The third event of NSS is inspired on ancient astrological charts and music composed in response to astrological, astronomical, and mathematical events.
