Hyunhye - Hyunhye (Angela) Seo is an artist exploring experimental composition and sound, creating deep turbulent soundscapes through ecstatic piano improvisations, dynamic percussion, and cavernous acoustic treatments. Her live performances are uncompromising in its open and immediate exploration of sounds, pulling from experimental noise, modern classical, avant-garde jazz, and ambient territories. She is a longtime member of the acclaimed avant-garde band Xiu Xiu, contributing to writing, recording, production, and international performances.

Rie Nakajima - is a sculptor living in London. She creates sounds using a combination of motorised devices and everyday objects in the context of installations and performances. Her art exists on the borderline of sculpture and music, open to chance and the influence of others. Improvisation is at the heart of her work. The first major solo exhibition was held at IKON Gallery in Birmingham in 2018. She has also worked with Museo Vostell Malpartida (Cáceres), Annely Juda Gallery (London), Association de Le Cyclop (Milly la Forêt), STUK (Leuven), ShugoArts (Tokyo), Donaueschinger Music Festival (Donaueschinger), Cafe OTO (London) and many others. Collaboration is an essential part of her practice with frequent collaborators, Pierre Berthet, Angharad Davies, Keiko Yamamoto, David Cunningham, Max Eastley, Yuko Shiraishi, David Toop and Akira Sakata. www.rienakajima.com
