David Palliser
Anthony Kroytor , Kallie Lampel
David Palliser
is a multi disciplinary artist working across improvised music, painting and drawing. He performs regularly in his home city of Melbourne and often in Europe, mainly Berlin. He was a significant member of the post punk band The People With Chairs Up Their Noses , later with The Donkey’s Tail, and continues to perform with The Charles Ives Singers, SKP, and numerous collaborations with other musicians. He plays alto saxophone and clarinet and performs solo using them with electronics and objects... His performances are noted for their on the brink of collapse concentration on sound production, often with a particular and intense use of fragments of loops that chase the flow of playing just as he chases them...areas of repose open out and are swallowed by the ongoing keenly pitched mangling. The Music section of his website gives some idea of his practice
https://www.davidpalliser.com
Created with a combination of digital and traditional techniques, Anthony Kroytor's audiovisual work is a reflection on modernity using the language of remix and juxtaposition. His training in philosophy frames and structures his work, and its sonic and rhythmic elements are grounded in experimental synthesized music. He is particularly interested in the intersection and overlap of the human with the nonhuman, the impersonal.
Kallie Lampel is an experimental/ambient artist based in Berlin. Lampel’s music focuses on creating evolving sonic environments that both express and conjure mental imagery. Through the use of loops both in and out of sync, his music blurs the lines between melody, rhythm, and texture. In this way he seeks to convey and induce the multitudinous experience of memory, thought, emotion, and sensation.

AGA (Drummer Caffè Productions)
Vivi Wich
AGA
is a composer, creative performer and founder of the Drummer Caffè label. AGA is Alessandro Antolini, drummer and drum teacher for more than twenty years, graduated from Middlesex University in London. The artist collaborated with the late Maestro Ezio Bosso and released 4 albums entirely composed by him: R[Evolution], "Dream On" and the recent "IMAGINE" and "SHORT B-MOVIES". In the musician's intense concert activity, important episodes stand out in Italian and European theaters and clubs. Of note is his participation in the Sanremo Rock final for two consecutive years, where he received excellent reviews from critics. The openings of Tom Barman (dEUS) and Blaine L.Reininger (Tuxedomoon) are suggestive.
Live AGA is a duo that combines sound with images. The electronically derived sound is placed before a layer of acoustic rhythm. The images that are sometimes the protagonists take the listener on a musical journey made up of concepts but above all sensorial aspects. Made in multiple locations, it finds its ideal form in places where music is necessary.

Viviré is a music project by soundartist Vivi Wich about connection and hope. Landscapes of sound and emotion present themselves as longform pieces of synthesizer music. Each track is composed as a painting inspired by the emotions of hopeful, exciting, tense, devastating, depressed, helpless, connecting and eye opening trajectories in life. The sound engine to meet this was designed to navigate tensions between balance and chaos, harmony and dissonance, stability and fragility. Time is not of the essence, there is no progression, everything is present at the same time. Viviré’s performances are improvised interpretations of the paintings. For listeners they’re an invitation to scour the landscapes of sound and emotion for a sense of connection and hope.

DuChamp
Eric Arn & Kasho Chualan
Mlondiwethu Dubazane
DuChamp
is an Italian scientist, musician and curator based in Berlin, religiously devoted to drone.
Drone is related to a precise childhood memory: the sound of the hair dryer, that her mother used to fix her hair. That was the sound of care, bliss, and infinite love.
She made her debut as solo on Aug 22 2010, and performed several time across Europe and in the US West Coast.
Since 2017, DuChamp started to incorporate real field recordings, related to her personal memory, into her drone compositions, by adding layers of sounds and noise in attempt to recreate some kind of apophonias.
Her debut album “NAR” has been released in 2013 through the italian cult label Boring Machines. In 2015 the split “Sculpture” with French sound artist Felicia Atkinson was released through Idiosyncratics. In 2016 and 2017 Full Body Massage records released that tapes “Nectere” and the following year “A Blazing World”. Her new album “The Wild Joy” will be released in 2025 by Torto Edition, Ramble Records and Atena Records.
Die Kurdisch-kanadische Pianistin, Komponistin und Klangkünstlerin Kasho Chualan und Wiener-Ami-Gitarrist
Eric Arn improvisieren einen herbstlichen Klangsturm aus dem Nichts.
Mlondiwethu Dubazane
is a South African creative sound-maker, spontaneous spirit-music practitioner, sonic-dramatist and improviser. His sonic vision cultivates a sensitivity to the unveiling of the heart, in sound and in practice. Each day, he listens to the space behind the eyes, behind the gut, behind the pelvis, behind the heart. His music is an offering to the space of inspiration that thrums within us all.
For his offering, Mlondiwethu will be sourcing inspiration from the movements of Word, Rhythm and Spirit; to create a performative and sonic encounter titled in the voices of many. Attentively listening to the enthusiasm and refuge that each vibration, note, and sound carries and offers, in the voices of many, is an improvisation toward an amplification of the subtle, unseen, and often-unspoken energies that thrum within us.

Simon Rose & Didi Kern
Gabriel Zucker & Attila Gyárfás
Simon Rose is a freelance musician and independent researcher, author from London, based in Berlin. He performs on baritone and alto saxophones in numerous collaborations and as soloist. He also collaborates beyond music with dancers, visual artists, mixed media, built instruments, site specific performance and more. His research interest is in creative processes.
Didi Kern muss hier nicht vorgestellt werden....
American multi-instrumentalist Gabriel Zucker (piano, synth, voice) and Hungarian drummer Attila Gyárfás have been making music since they met in 2017 in New York. Living in separate continents, Zucker and Gyárfás have developed the unique synergy of their wide-ranging and ambitious duo project playing in short spans of a week or two at a time on the road in diverse venues — from candle-lit jazz clubs in Edinburgh and Istanbul to an
electronic music venue built out of repurposed car speakers in TimiÅŸoara; from an art gallery in London to a sculpture park outside of Cluj-Napoca. Performing sometimes with a grand piano and a high-fi sound system, but sometimes with a skeletal drum kit, a synthesizer, and a single speaker, the duo is at home within a remarkable range of sounds: passages of complex contrapuntal chamber music are followed by noisy improvised soundscapes punctuated by Gyárfás’s gong synthesizer, and followed again by Zucker’s plaintive lullabies.

Adriano Cava
Hanousek - Aardestrup - Jorgen
Adriano Cava
Playing with phonography to shape NoFi environments. Adriano Cava play “mikrokosmos” in a low-volume listening ground aired by a self-assembled, cheap multi-speakers system.
This trio was put together in early 2024 by bassist Jonathan Aardestrup who had found a great connection with both the other players.
Since Peter Ole and Jonathan already had joined forces as a duo and facilitated meetings with international guests in Denmark and internationally, in February they invited the Czech saxophonist Radim Hanousek and that was a magical music meeting. The 3 had an instant connection and played 4 concerts for much pleased audiences around Denmark. In October the trio had a small tour in Czech and Austria with similar reactions.
These days we are finishing a live album of the recordings in Denmark, are planning to record a studio album this spring and are organizing another tour to central Europe in October 2025.
