Kasper Toeplitz is a composer, electric bass player and musician who has
developed his work in the no man’s land between “academic” composition
(orchestra, ensembles, opera) and electronic “new music” or “noise music”.
 Has won several prizes and distinctions ; 1st prize for orchestral
composition at the Besançon Festival, 1st prize at the “Opéra autrement /
centre Acanthes” competition, Villa Médicis Hors les Murs (New York), grant
Leonardo da Vinci (San Francisco) , Villa Kujoyama (Kyoto), DAAD (Berlin).
Got numerous commissions from the French Governement, the radio and from
electronic studios such as Ircam, GRM , GMEM, CRFMW, EMS..
Works with experimental or unclassifiable musicians such as Zbigniew
Karkowski, Tetsuo Furudate, Dror Feiler, Art Zoyd, Eliane Radigue, Phill
Niblock, Ulrich Krieger, Stevie Wishart, Z’ev, othersŠŠ..
Some of his long-term groups or projects are LE DEPEUPLEUR (with Zbigniew
Karkowski), KERNEL (a trio of computer players), Basstaarang (with Philippe
Foch playing taarang), Ephémérides (bass & image by Strom Varx). Has
definitively integrated the computer into the very heart of his work, as a
tool of thought and composition, and as a live instrument, hybridising more
traditional instruments if necessary, or working on the sheer electronic
noise.

Thomas Ankersmit is a saxophonist, electronic musician and installation
artist based in Berlin and Amsterdam, who combines abstract, intensely
focused acoustic saxophone work with hyper-kinetic analogue synth and
computer improvisation. He also creates installation pieces that use sound,
infrasound and “modifications to the acoustic characters of spaces” that
disrupt the viewer/listener’s perception of the exhibition space and their
presence within it. He frequently works together with New York minimalist
Phill Niblock. Other recent collaborators have included Kevin Drumm and
Borbetomagus.

Valerio Tricoli is a Berlin-based composer, improviser, sound installation
artist, producer, sound engineer and curator bridging musique concrète and
conceptual forms of sound with a radical interest in how reality, virtuality
and memory relate to each other during the acoustic event. He mostly uses
analogue electronic devices (reel-to-reel tape recorders, synthesizers,
microphones, light effects, ultrasonic speakers). The structure of the setup
is ever-changing however, seeking multiple relations between the performers,
the device and the space in which the event takes place. He is one of the
founders of 3/4HadBeenEliminated and the Bowindo label/collective.
