delphine dora & anaïs tuerlinckx
two singular pianists, collaborate here by abandoning their preferred instrument, to disrupt each other’s music from the inside by constructing a radical sound space on the borders of improvised, noisy and electroacoustic music and sound poetry. delphine dora uses loops, multi-tracks and various effects to augment and distort her voice, creating a disorientating and hypnotic effect, while anaïs tuerlinckx produces clusters and noisy sounds, attacks and resonances with her string box.
This research is fueled by their shared interest in the physicality of sound and an abstract approach to music, but also by their contrasting approaches.�The duo’s mainly improvised music, which favors a spontaneous approach, draws on the dialectic between the exploration of areas of friction between noise and abstraction, as well as a taste for sound textures, the boundary between the musicality of words and glossolalia, and the materiality and ‘fragments’ of melodies that telescope and contaminate each other. Subtle research into the materiality of sound and its transformation, gestures, musical and extra-musical sounds, a play on reductionism, stripped-down performance, combined with hypnotic work around the voice and altered fields of consciousness.
Anaïs: String box, objects, electronics�
Delphine: voice and effects

is a name for the black sea before nautical technology was advanced enough to safely traverse the water.
axine m is a vessel for musical inquiries and creative impulses across multiple genres and sentiments, carving out a space for itself against the grain of the dystopian imaginary. a recent self-released tape, usususesesererer (pronounced "user"), is a songwriterly exploration of interpersonal relationships under late-capitalism.
axine has published tapes with summer isle and embalming lately, a label she co-founded. as a dj, axine has mixed
for c-, bizaarbazaar, dust, hong kong community radio, and the lot radio, among others.

bridget ferrill & áslaug magnúsdóttir
the release of the duo’s collaborative album woodwind quintet (subtext, 2022) showcased their exploration of the complexity of composition by fracturing, deconstructing and interweaving classical elements in intimate and unexpected arrangements. the berlin-based Ferrill is a composer, engineer, and synthesizer builder.
by venturing into the realm of extended instruments, handmade electronics and experimental computer music,
she explores the interface between noise and composition.
copenhagen’s áslaug magnúsdóttir approaches instruments as a sculptor, pushing the boundaries of conventional music while also engaging in music programming, constructing interactive systems characterized by noise-based behaviors.
