Leila Bordreuil (Brooklyn)

Leila Bordreuil is a French-American cellist, composer and sound-artist based in Brooklyn, NY. She accesses concepts as diverse as Noise, contemporary classical, free jazz, and experimental traditions but adheres to none of them. Her music mixes deep melancholia with harsh noise-walls at ear-bleeding levels. Driven by a fierce interest in pure sound and inherent texture, Leila challenges conventional cello practice through extreme extended techniques and unorthodox amplification methods, to the extent she sometimes seems to be playing the P.A system rather than the cello. Her compositions frequently incorporate sound-spatialization by way of site-specific pieces and multichannel installations, and focus on neurological perception and our physiological relationship to sound and space.

Ale Hop (Berlin)

Alejandra Cárdenas Pacheco is a Peruvian-born artist, researcher, and experimental musician based in Berlin. She began her career in the 2000s in Lima’s experimental and underground scene. Her live performances merge the physical qualities of music with raw emotional states. She builds layers of sounds by blending a complex repertoire of guitar techniques processed by synthesis devices, to create a music of deep physical intensity. Her body of work includes live shows, record releases, sound and video artworks, research on sound and technology, and original music for film and dance.

Deeat Palace (Brussels)

Marion Camy-Palou, also known as Deeat Palace, is an experimental musician and sound artist based in Brussels. Since her beginnings in experimental electronic music, she draws inspiration from the chaotic atmospheres of industrial and noise music. Her live performances take the form of improvised sound narratives, shifting between sinuous ambient landscapes, cinematic compositions, and harsh noise. Recently, she has focused her work on more contemplative music, exploring structures, textures, and harmonies through broad dynamic ranges.

Giovanni Raabe (Munich)

Fluid ambient electronics, eery soundscapes, crispy and abstract basses, flowery synthesizers alternate with digital voices and collapsing drum samples – and over and over: lots of gaps, silence, waiting, taking a breath.
