*Every month, [**The Platform for Extratonality**](https://extratonal.org/)  gives the latest musical tendencies a stage at **Varia.** For October we have invited three groups that will challenge your dreary mindset. With the help of sunny improvisations, they are bound to disperse the autumn clouds for a while!*

**Nightshift** are a four-piece music collective from Glasgow who recently released their new album 'Homosapien' via Trouble In Mind Records. After several line-up changes, during which the band lost some members, added some new ones and then shook up the line-up, they managed to transform their playful and chaotic energy into songs with a hitherto unparalleled optimistic urgency. The chaos of these existential times drives them further and further into a dizzying universe, of which we will bear witness at Varia.

**(S)LOW FREQUENCIES** is a desire of (delaying) time and (situating) space to explore (in conversation) low frequencies and their impact on bodies and spirits. Through experimentation with a synthetiser, guitar, microphone and comfortable spaces the group is interested in shaping sonic land(scape)s. They approach sound making through soft connecting and slowing down as resistance.

**Become Hees Black Cod** is the lovechild of the Patagonic symphonic triangle player Titi Tabarnac and Rotterdam local Daniel O Fockerty aka. golden throat who sometimes plays the banjo. Their music is the ultimate normal mix of rock, pop, jazz and classical noise. Watch out because they might take their grandchildren along who can turn out quite nasty on a codless evening. First record coming up soon, but not tonight.
