Isidora Edwards (Cello) & Vinicius Cajado (Kontrabass)
Isidora Edwards is a London-based cellist, improviser and PhD researcher from Chile. Moving between thresholds that include the acoustic, amplified, and processed cello and electronics, her musical language questions epistemologies of time, listening, freedom, and pleasure. Her solo and collaborative performances with fellow improvisers have been presented in a vast number of festivals and venues around Europe, Latin America and the US. She was trained as a classical cellist at the Universidad Católica de Chile, and was awarded scholarships by the National Research and Development Agency of Chile (ANID) to pursue an MMus in Creative Practice (2019-2020) and a Practice-Based PhD in Music (2020-2024) both at Goldsmiths University of London. https://www.isidoraedwards.com/home
Vinicius Cajado is a musician from São Paulo, Brazil. His music makes use of silence at the same volume and pace that makes the use of harsh noise. He blends storytelling, minimalism, maximalism, spectral music, avant-garde and contemporary Brazilian music concepts into a super fast reactive playing. Using improvisation and deep listening also as a form of empathy, exchanging views, ideas, and reinventing himself from the first till the last note played on stage. Vinicius has received different accolades across the globe such as “debut record of the year” by the New York City Jazz Record for his first solo recording Monu, and also has been prized with additional honors for most unique and creative playing at the international society of bassists in Europe. His recent release Storm Dance (Not Two Records) with the legendary bassist Joëlle Léandre is described as “ a stunning, powerful and meaningful addition to the lineage of improvised duo bass recordings. https://www.vinicajado.com

Isabelle Duthoit (Stimme) / Alen Sinkauz (E-Bass & Elektronik) / Nenad Sinkauz (E- & MIDI-Gitarre & Elektronik)
The first concert encounter between French experimental vocalist Isabelle Duthoit and the Sinkauz brothers took place in 2024 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, in the Gorgona Hall, with the audiovisual concert Refractions, inspired by Mallarmé’s avant-garde poem A Throw of the Dice Will Never Abolish Chance, in collaboration with Vladislav Knežević. The day before, they recorded the album Circuit Breath, released on vinyl by Kopaton Records. Fragments of the same album, re-edited by sound engineer Marijana Begović, were transformed into the experimental radiophonic work „Mallarmè sonore“, which won this year’s prestigious EBU Palma Ars Acustica Award. The Circuit Breath album promotion concert announces a new musical adventure of the three artists, where improvisation, electronics, and voice merge into a unique sonic organism.
Alen Sinkauz and Nenad Sinkauz are composers, musicians, and performers. They both graduated in Musicology and Ethnomusicology in Padua. The Sinkauz brothers compose and shape music for feature-length and short films, musical, dance and theater shows, radio broadcasts, as well as site-specific, and multidisciplinary performances. They collaborate with prominent film and theater directors and visual and video artists in the country and abroad. They won five Golden Arena awards and a prize for original film music at the Croatian Film Days. Their artistic work, especially when playing live, is mostly oriented towards exploring unconventional musical forms, improvised and creative music, but their musical roots comes from the 90’ underground metal and punk scene. Through performance and composition, which are strictly connected in their work, they are interested in a dialogue of acoustic and electronic instruments, hybridity of the connection of musical and theatrical principles in performance as the research landmark for new performing formats.
In 2021 they started Kopaton records, a label for experimental and creative music as a platform connecting musicians from Croatia and south east Europe.Currently they are involved in the experimental trio Roj Osa.
In 2010 they started the International Festival of Experimental and Improvised Music Audioart in Pula (Croatia).
