In her improvisations with objects and DIY electronics, she manipulates the acoustic environment of a space using everyday objects and feedback techniques, while simultaneously exploring the conditions of performance through simple gestures and ordinary activities.

★ Frank creates a unique soundscape in the transition from noise to music. He has arranged his improv set with hints of melodies, sporadic rhythms, and sound structures formed from a variety of analogue sound samples. These are integrated into the digital signals of a no-input mixer and various electronic devices. Frank also plays a resonator guitar, which was modified by Michael Danner. Driven by a motor, a coil, and a closed circuit, the strings are set into continuous vibration, generating an endless sustain. This leads to a radical change in both the sound and handling of the instrument.

★ Howling Mystics
"As I lay down fading night by night, to be reborn in bloom of the nothing that encompasses my being, worlds surrender to me."
...blending elements of performances/‘Aktion’, sonic architecture and dance, as well as decoding the subliminal power structures within language and the preconscious establishment, Max Bogner's work can most simply be described as eclectic.
Oleksandra Kopelyan is a sound artist, performer, and author of the music project growthrings. The main tools of sound practice are voice, field recordings, archive recordings, radio interference, synthesized and acoustic timbres. Vocal techniques include glossolalia, authentic folk singing, and the digital layering of voices. Recurring subjects: water, rituals, chthonian entities, nature, and a world without humans. Oleksandra is a participant in the Field Recordings and Found Sounds laboratory within the online residency Unthinking/Unlearning (HSE & Universität der Künste Berlin, 2021), a former member of Ukrainian folklorist Natalia Serbina’s ensemble Дукач (Dukach), and a current member of Bulcanto (Berlin-based Bulgarian choir).

★ Born in 1996, Simon Herody is a French self-taught musician exploring the interplay of landscapes, memory, and improvisation. He studied at Nice’s Villa Arson School of Fine Arts, treating sound as a social and sculptural medium.
Starting at 20 with a plastic clarinet, he quickly expanded to saxophone, flute, piano, and electronics. Since moving to Berlin in 2020, he creates instinctive electro-acoustic ambient on tape and cassette.
