Nana Pi is a Copenhagen-based saxophone player, composer, and conductor, primarily working within the experimental jazz scene. She has developed a unique musical vocabulary on the saxophone by incorporating objects and extended techniques, pushing the boundaries of sonic expression. Beyond her work as a saxophonist, she is known for conducting improvisation using her music sign language, Extemporize, for which she received the P8 Jazz Award "Årets Ildsjæl" in 2020.

Chris Pitsiokos is a New York-born, Berlin-based saxophonist, composer, improviser, and writer whose work defies genre, spanning noise, jazz, new music, and electro-acoustic experimentation. Guided by a relentless dialectical approach, he continually interrogates his artistic practice as a form of disciplined, never-ending searching, aiming not for arrival, but for the productive “nowhere” that drives his creativity.

Influenced by diverse environments across Japan, Canada, Australia, and Europe, she also works with plant dyes and participates in the Berlin Handcrafts Collective. Her pieces explore cycles, duality, and process, and are held in private collections internationally.
