As a solo performer, in small groups or large ensembles she moves in an area which is constantly stretching the borders of what is supposed to be DJ mixing, free improvisation and composed music.Intended as music instruments CDjs, turntables and mixer are her tools to mix the specific sound-sources she plays (mostly electronic music, electro-acoustic music, musique concrète, field recordings and improvised music).The typology of the sound-sources varies from already existing audio publications and sound effects, to self recorded audio files – as live-set and field-recordings -, to selected pre-mixed material. Juxtaposition, decontextualization, fragmentation, repetition, sonic texture, scratch and error are elements of the grammar adopted to relate, organize and rearrange the sound material following her “Äpfelzerstörer’s method”. She has participated in numerous international events and exhibitions as well as being a member of the italian label Burp Enterprise and co-running Staalplaat Radio. https://soundcloud.com/jd-zazie Mario de vega _ Born in Mexico City, lives and works in Berlin and Mexico City. Through actions, accidents, and results with a conceptual connection to acoustic perception, his work researches the value of vulnerability, fragility, and indetermination. He has performed live and exhibited his work in various platforms in Mexico, South Africa, India, Canada, Russia, Korea, Japan, United States, and all over Europe. http://www.mariodevega.info/ Arnaud Rivière _ Using a rudimentary electro-acoustic device built around a repaired turntable (pick-up), a prepared-mixer and other primitive equipment that need manipulation - to make it brief -, Arnaud Rivière practises free improvisation, playing solo, in groups and through collaborations, since the late 90’s. "He is an unabashed feedbackophile who creates monstrous gusts of noise with simple tools used incorrectly. Jamming foreign objects and wires into his mixing board, using his turntable to spin metal disks or worse, twisting his distortion pedal to 11, the harsh beauty of Rivière’s music does not come from conventional concepts like melody and harmony, but from deftly controlled bursts of energy, powerful gestures of thunderous layers of noise upon noise, and a wonderful sense of structure." Keir Neuringer. http://http.http.http.http.free.fr/ Yann Leguay _ Brussels based sound artist Yann Leguay , defined as a media saboteur by the Consumer Waste label, he seeks to fold materiality in on itself using basic means in the form of objects and videos or during installations and performances. His flagrant disregard for the accepted norms of audio behaviour appropriates unusual machinery for the playback of audio media: using an angle grinder to perform the live destruction of a microphone or using opened hard-drives as turntables. His release activity is equally deviant, releasing silkscreen records or a 7” single without a central hole and a record composed from recordings of vinyl being scratched by scalpel. His Phonotopy label proposes a conceptual approach to recording media and he also curates the DRIFT series on the Artkillart label which overlays several grooves onto a single record, causing randomised playback. www.phonotopy.org <http://www.phonotopy.org/> + DJ i.ruu̵uu? http://to.be/fields/mw_r9d Art[k]illart http://artkillart.free.fr/ _ Performances will be livestreamed on DIY Church international radio space station ** www.diychurch.org <http://www.diychurch.org/> ///////////////////
