ANH PHI
Anh Phi was born to Vietnamese refugees in the suburbs of Paris, journeyed back to Saigon to reconnect with his roots, lived in Shanghai, and recently found his way to Berlin. His practices explore nonlinear times with cinematic and ritualistic approaches. His sounds convey multilayered metropolises, plot twists and cliffhangers, primal tribal feels, and global borderless club mutations.
BOGLAND
Bogland binds together solo and ensemble pieces by musician and artist Tony Wagner. Breaching the shores of new classical, ambient and drone, Bogland builds immersive ambiences for introspection and rest. It’s sleepy music that connects to the bogs’ unsteady, slowly moving, palpable but ephemeral components.
HUI YE
(born in Guangzhou, CN) is an artist and composer based in Vienna.
She works with different media including experimental documentary, video and audio installation, and often focuses on the socio-political aspects of sound and music culture with the intention of exploring the diverse correlations between sonic culture and contemporary societies. In her live sound performances, Ye uses computer-generated noises as well as TTS (Text-to-Speech) speeches which are produced by programming errors and AI-based voice synthesis. These will be triggered erratically and subsequently assigned to an multi-channel audio system in order to form an impulsive, spatial soundscape.
OMID DARVISH
Omid Darvish is a composer, singer, and tanbur player based in Vienna. With his two projects, HUUUM and Kurdophone, he is dedicated to focusing on Iranian music, seeking to present a new perspective on contemporary Iranian music.
SONCHAUNI
sonchauni (Assi Abogado) is a Filipino-born non-binary interdisciplinary artist and DJ currently based in Dubai, UAE.
Their eclectic approach traverses conventional boundaries, delving into the realms of body, identity, memory, and the visceral experiences they engender. Embracing the unpredictable essence of electronic music, sonchauni creates intense atmospheres and stimulates the vibrant ecosystem of the dance floor. They evoke spontaneous energies, merging diverse realms into a singular corporeal entity.
TATI AU MIEL
Tania Daniel, also known as Tati au Miel, is an artist born and raised in Montreal. They have been dedicated to their work as a freelance artist since 2017. Their artistic practice incorporates various mediums to produce evocative experimental sound pieces, sculptural and textile explorations, and ritualistic performances delving into contemplations on freedom, spirituality, storytelling, surrealism, and beyond.
TUCIBI
The artist, producer and DJ Büsra Arli aka Tucibi is active in the Viennese underground since the 2020s. Her DJ-sets feature mesmerizing Techno and hypnotic, but minimal Acid tracks, often shifting over to Hardcore, House, and Trance.
