Night five of send + receive v27:
Julia E. Dyck is a Canadian artist and hypnotherapist based in Brussels whose multidisciplinary practice merges sound, performance, and expanded states of consciousness to explore the porous boundaries between body, technology, and the (sub)conscious. Rooted in relational and speculative methodologies, her work invites audiences into immersive experiences of collective transformation, using voice, vibration, and storytelling as portals to new modes of perception and presence.
Trained in hypnotherapy, Dyck creates participatory works that engage deeply with sonic imagination—monthly live hypnosis sessions, lecture-meditations, and bespoke sound prescriptions. Julia is a member of Audio Placebo Plaza collective, a feminist experiment in radical sonic care and placebo aesthetics, and the t.r.a.n.c.e community hypnosis project. Her work has been presented internationally, including at the Karachi Biennale (PK), LOOP (KR), Bétonsalon (FR), Haus der Kulturen der Welt (DE), Cafe OTO (UK), Q-O2 (BE), Palais des Beaux-Arts de Paris (FR), Musée d’art de Joliette (CA), Musées d’art et d’histoire de Genève (CH), and Darling Fonderie (CA).
As a duo, Jairus Sharif & Mustafa Rafiq explore the influence of their environment, their own cultural histories, and chosen ideals through improvisations that stretch into territories where drone, noise, and jazz lurk.
Dreejur was born from a desire to follow feelings as far as they will take us. To create semi-improvised sonic places for people to sit awhile. For sounds to be uncovered through exploration and play. To gather sounds from the life around us and find a sonic home for them to live on record. A combination of guitars, synths and field recordings build worlds – sometimes understated and meandering, at other times loud and all-encompassing. But always patient and responsive.
Dreejur’s debut album Forgetfulness in the Food Chain was released in 2024. The live iteration of this project features Bucky Driedger, Adam Soloway and Mitch Braun.
