Edith Steyer is an improvising and composing clarinetist/saxophonist working with preparations and elements like drum skins, water and wind along with electronics and feedback. She is inspired by the technical possibilities of the „old fashioned“ German clarinet system and frequently makes use of the space as an element in her work. She’s been supported by the Senate of Berlin (2016, 2020, 2025), the German Musikfond (2020), Goethe Institut (2024) and as a member of the music theatre group “Mann aus Obst” by the Initiative Neue Musik.

Jakub Švejnar is a drummer, percussionist and improviser from Czechia. Apart from the drumset, Jakub uses percussion, objects, no-input mixer and voice. He’s active in the Prague improvisation and jazz scene and a member of Jungle Debris, Pudlax, Grandmothers Favourite, Načeva, Aid Kid live and Luboš Soukup Quartet among others. He’s premiered compositions by Michal Wróblewski, Anthony Braxton, Petr Hora, Elia Morreti, Timotheé Quost and collaborated with performance and dance theater ensembles Špatné divadlo, Me-Sa Company and Divadlo Continuo.

Jukka Kääriäinen is a musician focused on experimental music, who’s working with prepared acoustic guitar or electric guitar and effects. He has performed widely across Europe and at international festivals in the UK, Spain, and France.

Naoto Yamagishi is in search of music before its word and concept were formally defined. A music free from formal constraints, travelling between places with flowing motions and sounds initiating from daily life – its rhythms, sonority and space. Naoto started playing drums at the age of 13 and studied under Takuya Abe in Japan. In 2011, he moved to Rennes, France, and returned to Japan in 2014 collaborating with various artists regardless of genres – from Japan and overseas.
