::: Tamara Soldan ( Vielle: Medieval Fiddle, Voice)
Tamara Soldan is a vocalist, musician, performer, and sound artist who explores sound as a tool for personal introspection and collective dialogue. Her research focuses on the use of archaic Chants, particularly medieval and Gregorian chant, integrated with natural and urban soundscapes, to investigate the interaction between voice, identity, and environment.

::: Youjin Sung (Gayageum: Korean Zither)
Youjin Sung is a gayageum player who explores improvisation and experimental sound. Working with the traditional Korean instrument, she expands its material and sonic possibilities while developing her own musical language that moves across genres.
Her performances go beyond conventional techniques, exploring diverse textures of sound and creating new musical scenes through unpredictable flows and structures. She focuses on music that emerges in real time, engaging closely with space, audience, and the sensibilities of each moment.
Youjin Sung collaborates with a range of artists both in Korea and internationally, working across various musical contexts. In addition to performances, she is involved in sound research and project-based work, continuously seeking new ways for the gayageum to exist and evolve within contemporary music.
