<p><strong>Mario de Vega</strong><br>
His work overlaps relations between stability, failure, simulation and
ambiguity with site-specific interventions, sound events,
process-oriented projects, sculpture, modified electronics and sound
improvisation. As an improviser, his practice explores the value of
fragility & in-determination involving a wide range of customized
objects, analog and modified electronics, turntables and computer based
interfaces in different combinations. He performs both solo and in
collaborations with numerous other musicians exploring the tension
between analog and digital media. His work produces acoustic situations
for specific spaces using the context to generate ambiguous relations
through sound and has appeared in Galleries, Museums, Concert Halls
& unconventional spaces throughout Europe, Mexico, United States,
Canada, Russia, Korea and Japan.</p>

<strong>Bill Kouligas</strong> is a sound artist and designer, better
known for his solo project Family Battle Snake. He also runs the sound
art label PAN with vinyl editions of electronic and experimental
artists. His music captures a variety of different sounds and time
periods filtered through an imaginary urban soundscape. Emerging through
a noise underground, ominous like a cloak of whispers, he now floats on
a plane ebbing and flowing between electronic tape music and gluey
entropicalia. With the use of analogue synth, tape manipulation and
electronics he employs warm drones and a musique concrete approach
through structured perspectives on a journey across time.</p>
<p>Bill has collaborated with the likes of C. Spencer Yeh, Destroy All
Monsters, Sudden Infant, John Olson (Wolf Eyes), Joseph Hammer (LAFMS),
Ralf Wehowsky/RLW, Chris Corsano, Damo Suzuki, Christian Weber, Anla
Courtis, Astro, MV Carbon, Pete Nolan (Magik Markers), Valerio Cosi,
Birds of Delay and Kouhei Matsunaga to name a few.</p>

<strong>Valerio Tricoli</strong><br>
His compositions bridge musique concrète and conceptual forms of sound
(i.e. the radical interest in how reality, virtuality, memory relate to
each other during the acoustic event): music, as a recorded or as a
synthetically-modeled sound, is always hovering between the “here and
now” of the event and the shady domain of memory – distant but at the
same time present, like a déjà–vu experience. Tricoli plays live music
with electronic instruments – most of them analogue – (reel-to-reel tape
recorders, synthesizers, microphones, light effects, ultrasonic
speakers), however the structure of the device is ever-changing, seeking
multiple relations between the performers, the device and the space in
which the event takes place.</p>
