:::
Farida Amadou is a self-taught electric bassist and sound sculptor based in Brussels. Known for her raw, intuitive approach to improvisation, she has become a vital force in experimental music, collaborating with artists such as Thurston Moore, Peter Brötzmann, and Moor Mother. Blending free jazz, noise, and deep rhythmic structure, Amadou creates immersive soundscapes that balance intensity with clarity. Her solo work, including the acclaimed When It Rains It Pours (2024), showcases her unique ability to shape spontaneous sonic worlds with power, precision and emotional depth.
:::
Ji Youn Kang is a Korean composer, performer, and sound artist based in The Hague. Much of her work is informed by the rites of Korean Shamanism, and many of her pieces are written for Wave Field Synthesis systems, exploring the relationship between musical and physical space. She is also active as a solo performer, exploring ways to combine three sound domains on stage: acoustic instruments, analogue and digital sound, using DIY analogue synthesizers and live processing on a laptop. For Göteborg Art Sounds Festival she will perform “machi-nory”. This performance unfolds as a live construction of an unstable sonic machine, built from circuits, metal plates and electromagnetic feedback where sound emerges from shifting relationships between materials, performer, signal and space.
:::
Opening performance: Students at the Academy of Music & Drama perform music arranged for the venue of the night.
