The Punkt Festival in Kristiansand (Norway) is based on a live remix experience. Every concert is immediately followed by its remixed performance by other guest musicians. Indeed, the music first heard in its live original form resurfaces consequently anew, with improvisation and surprise.

In 2013, the festival has invited ethiopian singer Eténèsh Wassiè, a major voice from Addis Ababa who has been accompanied by french bassist Mathieu Sourisseau since 2002. Their music revisits ethiopian groove and pushes it to the limits of free jazz. The live remix of their concert is carried out by Jan Bang on the sampler and norwegian drummer and percussionist Audun Kleive, considered a leader of Oslo's Nu-Jazz scene.
