Klaus Janek
Double bass player, composer and researcher from Bolzano/Italy, moved to Berlin in the mid-90s. Janek is known for his musical approach of combining the compositional and performative act on his double bass and electronic set. In his work, he seeks to balance aesthetics and discourse.
Shane Latimer
Shane Latimer is a musician from Dublin, Ireland. As guitarist and composer with OKO (“a revelation” - The Sunday Times) and or as curator with the Bottlenote Festival (“a no-holds-barred celebration of beautiful noise” - The Irish Times), his music has a focus on the improvisational and experimental. His latest solo work exists in the entangled space between the embodied and the embedded. Shane uses software to harvest information from guitar improvisations to feed an assemblage of electronic hardware. His new solo album 'Residuum' on Diatribe Records documents and expands upon this work. “...an extraordinary range of textures...Latimer manipulated the jumble of boxes and leads – as well as his guitar – in a fascinating meeting of man and technology” - The Journal of Music 2022.
Izumi Kimura -
Pianist Izumi Kimura explores between abstract and concrete, improvising and composing. She is curious about things unknown, invisible and inaudible, questions and explores our roles, cultures, languages, attitudes, and beliefs – through the act of improvising music.
She has performed extensively throughout the country and abroad since moving to Ireland from Japan in 1995. She has worked with some of the leading performers and ensembles from both disciplines of classical, jazz and improvised music. Her main focus in the past decades are interpretation of contemporary music and improvisation across genres, and merging of both.
‘A fearless explorer of the contemporary music landscape ... Kimura brings a combination of feral creativity and technical virtuosity to the stage that belies her calm demeanour’ The Irish
Times.
