Installé dans le paysage local et international comme un rendez-vous informel des musiques informes, ce festival est le fruit de la complicité entre l'équipe de Instants Chavirés (lieu historique et internationalement reconnu pour sa position unique de diffuseur des musiques expérimentales) et l'association Sonic Protest, animée par Franq De Quengo (activiste parisien de longue date, et musicien tout terrain (Dragibus, Damo Suzuki's Network, etc...) il dirige la boutique de disque Bimbo Tower et participe au label Poutre Apparente), Benoît Sonnette (responsable du label Textile et organisateur des soirées Bag of Spoon) et Arnaud Rivière (ex-co-programmateur aux Instants Chavirés et musicien du coin). Une cinquième édition, oui, bravo, mais la dernière sous cette forme. Quatre jours, trois lieux différents, de biens beaux endroits pour se mettre à l'envers et toujours cette tendance pas si tendance à mélanger et bien secouer jusqu'à décoller les étiquettes.
