Brett Wagg     
Berlin-based artist, curator, and musician, primarily working in the fields of Noise, Ambient, and Industrial Music. Wagg is the sole operator of the Total Black label (founded in Montreal in 2012) eventually grew into the Sentimental Youth brick-and-mortar record store in Berlin. He has been working in the DIY music community in North America and Europe for close to 20 years. 

Edka Jarząb                   
Vocal artist and performer, utilising voice as a bridge between the public and private spheres; listening, singing, and improvisation as a practice of social resistance. She co-creates the Warsaw-based community Radio Kapitał and is the author of radio plays and interventions. From 2020 to 2021, she was a resident of the experimental studio WORM in Rotterdam; a permanent collaborator of the interdisciplinary platform Q-O2 based in Brussels.

Daniel Löwenbrück               
German performance artist,  curator, and founder of Tochnit Aleph label.
As a performance artist and composer of tape music, he has performed internationally since the late 90s as part of the Schimpfluch-Gruppe (with Rudolf Eb.er, Dave Phillips, Joke Lanz), as a duo with singer and performance artist Doreen Kutzke, as part of Ohne (with Tom Smith, Dave Phillips, Reto Mäder), with Swedish conceptual artist Leif Elggren, with Brazilian video- and sound-artist Marcellvs L. as Stallgewitter, and solo as Raionbashi and under his own name. 

Jessica Ekomane                   
French-born and Berlin-based electronic musician and sound artist. Her practice unfolds around live performances and installations. She creates situations where the sound acts as a transformative element for the space and the audience. Her quadraphonic performances, characterized by their physical effect, seek a cathartic effect through the interplay of psychoacoustics, the perception of rhythmic structures, and the interchange of noise and melody. Her ever-changing and immersive sonic landscapes are grounded in questions such as the relationship between individual perception and collective dynamics or the investigation of listening expectations and their societal roots. 

Martin Howse         
Artist and theorist occupied with an investigation of the links between the earth (geophysical phenomena), software, and the human psyche (psychogeophysics) through the construction of experimental situations (performance, laboratories, walks, and workshops), material artworks, and texts. From 1998 to 2005, Howse was director of AP, a software performance group working with electronic waste, pioneering an early approach to digital glitch. For the last ten years, he has initiated numerous open-laboratory style projects and performed, published, lectured, and exhibited worldwide. He is equally the creator of the ERD modular synthesizer series.

Nick Klein               
Berlin-based artist and curator. Klein has recorded a large amount of music for tape, CD, digital file, and vinyl editions for music labels, as well as running his own amorphous label project PL (primitive languages, Psychic Liberation, etc).

Since the inception of the station, Klein has hosted a monthly show on Montez Press Radio and curated an invitational programme at the Volksbühne Roter Salon for 2023–2024. He has performed and exhibited at institutions and festivals such as the Amant Foundation, MoMA PS1, De La Cruz Collection, Volksbühne, Empty Gallery, Cafe OTO, and Berghain.

Oswald Berthold             
Founder of farmersmanual (1995), a renowned pan-european electronic disturbance conglomerate; co-owner with Florian Hecker of fals.ch (1998), a pioneering online music label, and the musical artists cd_slopper (1999). 
Working increasingly on real-time data-driven generative music in the early 2000s he started specializing in AI and robotics, and went on to earn an MSc. in computer science (2012) and a Ph.D in developmental robotics (2020), both from Humboldt-University of Berlin. As a post-doc project, he co-founded the Berlin-based robotics startup Jetpack Cognition Lab in 2019 with fellow roboticist Matthias Kubisch, where they invented and started marketing “flatcat”, a one-of-a-kind bio-inspired AI-pet robot for private users (your next robot is a pet).

Víctor Mazón Gardoqui       
Artist and interface designer. Mazón’s work questions perception, altered states and vulnerability through un/stable arrangements. His work materialises in three main fields: actions or site-specific performances through experimental processes, exhibitions as consequences of previous actions and collective work through collaborative groups and seminars in cultural and academic centres. Since 1999, he has been involved in experimental tactics of media agitation through actions, performances and seminars in public spaces and mass media interventions through the use of sound, light and custom electronics. His works have been performed and exhibited in museums, galleries, on billboards, urban screens and public TV/radio stations worldwide.

Woonjii         
Founder of experimental collective Yisekai, and a veteran crate digger based in Hong Kong. Woonjii spent the past years sorting rare collections released after 00’s of experimental and techno records acquired from a warehouse record store in Hong Kong, which closed down in 2019. Prior to diving into the world of DJing, Woonjii was already immersed in promoting and curating licensed music for retailers in APAC as sales and marketing in a company that is now part of Apple Music for Business. Her graduation thesis of MA in Arts and Cultural Enterprise at the Central Saint Martins suggested pathways for the sustainable development of the music industry.

Giada Dalla Bontà             
Italian researcher, curator, and writer focusing on the intersection between sound, politics, art, underground and experimental practices, with a particular emphasis on unofficial cultures in the late Soviet Union and in contemporary practices in Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Baltics.

She has worked with Lisson Gallery, Mondrian Foundation, HNI Rotterdam, Venice Biennale, and collaborated with independent art projects and experimental music labels. She is currently based in Berlin and in Copenhagen, where she is a PhD fellow at the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies of Copenhagen University in association with the Sound Studies Lab.

Makoto Oshiro 
Berlin-Tokyo-based performer and artist. His primary medium is sound, but he also combines other elements, including light, electricity, and the movement of objects. In live performances, he uses self-made tools and instruments that are based on electronic devices, everyday materials, and junk. His installation work treats sound as a physical and auditory phenomenon, focusing on characteristics such as vibration and interference. He is also a member of the live installation/performance group The Great △(夏の大△) with Takahiro Kawaguchi and Satoshi Yashiro, and runs the label Basic Function.

Florencia Curci 
Artist, curator, and professor at the Universidad de San Martín (UNSAM).
She holds a degree in Cultural Policies, a postgraduate degree in Expanded Music from UNSAM, and has completed the Artists Program at the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella.
Through radio experimentation and artistic research, she seeks to create shared tools to resist dominant monoculture. Her work addresses specific territorial issues in a situated manner, fostering spaces for encounters through listening and sound-making. Her practice materializes in nomadic radio broadcasts, participatory mapping, sound installations, performances, and site-based listening exercises.
From 2017 to 2024, she directed the Centro de Arte Sonoro (CASo).

JUNKO   
Japanese vocalist and a longtime member of the notoriously unhinged noise outfit Hijokaidan (Emergency staircase), founded in 1978. Whether singing a cappella or accompanied by the frenetic rhythms of Michael Henritzi or Akira Sakata, Junko finds an anti-melodic, anti-symbolic pleasure in the varied textures of her voice. While Western critics have often struggled to get beyond the so-called harsh, confrontational quality of Junko’s sound, she is perhaps best understood as an artist who radically expands her audience’s interpretive capacities, working in a mode too improvisational to be punk, too chaotic to be free jazz, and yet too intimate to be dismissed. 

Luciano Maggiore
Active musician in the field of electroacoustic music, in recent years he has developed a strong interest in the mechanisms of sound diffusion, using speakers and several analogue and digital devices (Walkmans, CD players, tape recorders) as principal instruments. His interest is focused on the architectural and psychoacoustic as well as dynamic and directional values of sound with a strong emphasis on fixed sounds. His works are published by Balloon & Needle, Boring Machines, Consumer Waste, Palustre, Senufo editions, 1000Füssler, Triscele Registrazioni and Tulip records. He lives and works in London. 

Alice Kemp
Artist exploring an idiosyncratic praxis involving experimental music, audio composition, public/private performance, installation, drawing, writing, lo-fi video, and object making. Her work is informed by subtle states of trance, dream, and disturbance. She has presented live art internationally and released audio/musical works through independent labels such as Fragment Factory (DE), Harbinger Sound (UK), Erratum (FR), Tochnit Aleph (DK), the Helen Scarsdale Agency (USA), Dead Mind Records (NL), and Coherent States (GR). Kemp is a Schimpfluch affiliate and a human ex-voto, living and working in Devon, England.

Audrey Chen
Vocal Artist. 2nd generation Chinese/Taiwanese-American musician who was born into a family of material scientists, doctors and engineers, outside of Chicago in 1976. Parting ways with the family convention, she turned to the cello at age 8 and voice at 11. After years of classical and conservatory training in both instruments, with a resulting specialization in early and new music, she parted ways again in 2003 to begin new negotiations with sound in order to discover a more individually honest aesthetic.

Elvin Brandhi 
Improviser, producer, and sound artist from Bridgend, Wales, who builds aberrant beats from field recordings, tape, vinyl, instrument and voice. Using sound and voice as an expansive language transgressing intrinsic systemics and inherited syntactical etiquettes, her live shows are unyielding bursts of erupting animation where her caustic stream of consciousness cavorts with restless, glitched-out heaviness. Her creative momentum comprises a range of collaborations and an endless nomadism.

Davide Tidoni 
Artist working from the boundaries of physical, perceptual, and affective dimensions of sound. His work addresses questions regarding interactions with acoustic space, interdependence, and impermanence. His practice also includes interests in the use of sound in counter-cultures and social contexts of struggle. He published The Sound of Normalisation (2018), a field research on the ultras group Brescia 1911, and Where Do You Draw the Line Between Art and Politics (2021), a series of interviews with individuals active at the intersection of art and politics.

Martin Khanja (aka Lord Spike Heart) and Sam Karugu emerge from Nairobi’s flourishing underground metal scene as former members of the bands Lust of a Dying Breed and Seeds of Datura. Together in 2019 they formed DUMA (Darkness in Kikuyu) with Sam abandoning bass for production and guitars and Lord Spike Heart providing extreme vocals to the project. Modus Operandi, and a collaboration with Brazilian metal band Deafbricks.

Ioana Vreme Moser
Romanian sound artist engaged with hardware electronics, speculative research, and tactile experimentation. In her practice, she uses rough electronic processes to obtain different materialities of sound. She places electronic components and control voltages in different situations of interaction with her body, organic materials, lost and found items, and environmental stimuli.  

Mark Fell
Multidisciplinary artist based in Rotherham (UK). His practice draws upon electronic music subcultures, experimental film, contemporary philosophy, and radical politics. Over the past 30 years, Fell’s output has grown into a significant body of work – from early electronic sound works and recorded pieces, to installation, critical texts, curatorial projects, educational systems and choreographic performances.

Mattin
Artist, musician and theorist working conceptually with noise and improvisation. Through his practice, writing and pedagogy, he explores performative forms of estrangement as a way to deal with structural alienation. He has performed in festivals such as Performa (NYC), Shanghai Biennial, No Fun (NYC), Club Transmediale (Berlin), Arika (Glasgow), Sonic Protest (Paris), and lectured and taught in institutions such as Dutch Art Institute, CalArts, Bard College, Paris VIII, Princeton University and Goldsmiths College. In 2017, he completed a Ph.D. at the University of the Basque Country under the supervision of the philosopher Ray Brassier.

Oren Ambarchi
From the late 90’s his experiments in guitar abstraction and extended technique have led to a more personal and unique sound-world incorporating a broader palette of instruments and sensibilities. On releases such as Grapes From The Estate and In The Pendulum’s Embrace, Ambarchi employed glass harmonica, strings, bells, piano, drums and percussion, creating fragile textures as light as air which tenuously coexist with the deep, wall-shaking bass tones derived from his guitar.

Roc Jiménez de Cisneros
In 1996, he founded the computer music project EVOL, which has been the core of much of his artistic output to date. His approach can be understood as an aesthetic exploration of algorithmic composition and a deconstruction of rave culture. His work has been released by international record companies such as Entr’acte, Mego, Presto!? and fals.ch, and on his own record label, ALKU, which he co-directs with Anna Ramos since 1997. Straddling psychedelia and academia, Jiménez de Cisneros has presented his work live and in installation form at galleries, museums and clubs in Europe, North America and Asia.

Rudolf Eb.Er
Also known as Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck, Eb Er. founded the Schimpfluch extreme and outsider artist collective in Zürich in 1987. Schimpfluch exponents are highly regarded for their unique and obscure aural and visual work; their confrontational, physically demanding performances and shock treatments remove the boundaries of the body and open up access to the collective unconscious. Rudolf Eb.er’s research de-occults the psychic body through psycho-physical tests and trainings. He employs and combines abreactive and cleansing actionism with sonic rituals, psychoactive acoustics, and close-up field recordings of nature and decay, generating audio-environments into which he plants grotesque psycho-magic rituals and tantric exercises that trigger a nondual, higher awareness.

Russell Haswell
Haswell has presented projects extensively in venues and festivals, including the Prix Ars Electronica, the Serpentine Pavilion, the Barbican, the V-A-C Foundation in Russia, MOFO Tasmania, the Office for Contemporary Art in Norway, ICC, and CCA in Japan. In addition to his work in galleries, nightclubs, and festivals, he has also released a huge amount of records and CDs on labels including Editions Mego, Warp, and Diagonal Records. Russell’s work is deeply inspired by various forms of extreme music ranging from Detroit Techno to Black Metal and he is perhaps most well known for creating highly innovative, often improvised, experimental, critical and abrasive works.

Hans Tammen
Musician, programmer and educator. Tammen is currently teaching at the School of Visual Arts and NYU Steinhardt. From 2001 to 2014, he worked at Harvestworks Digital Media Art Center in NYC, where he was responsible for the Client Services, Education, and Artist in Residence program, helping countless digital media artists through the completion of their works. As an arbitrator at BTQ in the 1990s, he has spent a decade advising unions about electronic monitoring and surveillance at the workplace, and negotiating contracts and agreements to minimize surveillance aspects. He received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Kassel, studying on a stipend from Friedrich Ebert Foundation.
