@boneiklectik was vibrant!!!!
We are so lucky to have had the opportunity to play alongside so many other incredible artists and to have been given the space to let Madrigals enter into a new phase 🤍
Starting as a fixed media piece created during our @phonon.crew residency in the Czech Republic, Madrigals has since morphed into a creature of its own. Being able to perform it in a live ambisonics context allowed us to be collectively swept up by the compositions’ journey: from eruptive torrents to sighs of baby dragons to polyphonic chants to drone metal incantations 🩸
Huge thank you to all the other artists that took us on their own journeys. We have been devoured, transformed and spat back out.
To @atayilgun_ecolagbohrsac2021 for your guest performance and guitar demon slaying ⚔️
To the most amazing team at @iklectikartlab that were so helpful and supportive in putting this festival together. Thank you Isa, Edu and Atay!!!
And of course to @goetheinstitut_london London for funding our vision.
On a side note: IKLECTIK is currently threatened to be evicted due to property development in London. This venue has been a vital place of disruption and healing in the London art scene.

Artist Bios:
IN ARMOR began their collaboration during an ambisonics residency in the Czech Republic in summer 2023. Now working on their debut album, IN ARMOR seeks to merge ideas around sonic “worldbuilding” with a genre fluid language that shifts between classical music, dark jazz, experimental club music, folk, and synth-pop. Through their cabaret-inspired performances, IN ARMOR desires to transcend traditional narratives of pop performance and is in constant search of the macabre, the erotic, and the mythologies of dark fever dreams.
AFAR ODEA is the solo project of Leipzig-based musician Konrad Jackisch. He has been working on his self-titled debut album since 2018, which was released in September 2024. The result is an overwhelming, electronically driven contemporary pop, progressive and intuitive at the same time and with a unique, rarely experienced aesthetic magnetism.
adhdiva is a Berlin-based DJ with a distinct approach to club and experimental music, combining Middle Eastern rhythms with avant-garde electronics, distorted bass, ambient, punk influences and dub. True to her name, she impulsively switches between genres, often getting lost in the diverse selection of tracks on her USB. With roots in Persian and Turkish sounds, she moves between tradition and experimentation.
This is a self-funded event – your support means the world. Come through, bring a friend and spread the word.
With love,
IN ARMOR

Excerpt from our track “My Love” performed live @sonforma . Thank you to everyone who came to see us play at our live shows last year. Can’t wait to share more music with you in 2026!
IN ARMOR combines synthesizers, live vocals and trumpet to forge a genre fluid language that shifts between classical music, dark jazz, experimental club music, folk, and synth-pop.
Their full performance video is now live on the SONFORMA YouTube channel. Link in bio.
