BORIS BALTSCHUN is an established figure from a new generation
of European musicians and artists currently immersed in the global
forefront of avant garde and experimental music, specifically
within the province of "free improvisation", "sound art", and
"electronic music".
His use of the sampler as an instrument which traverses the familiar
and the unfamiliar territories of music is well documented
and widely celebrated.

Baltschun has performed and exhibited extensively in Europe and
America, including Documenta 11 (2002) and Musée d'Art Moderne et
Contemporain (2005),
and has collaborated with the likes of Tetuzi Akiyama, John Butcher,
John Oswald, Wolfgang Fuchs, Tony Bucks, amongst many others.
He has also given lectures at world renowned experimental music
departments at
University of California at San Diego, Mills College, and California
Institute of the Arts.

EMMANUEL MIEVILLE is a Paris born French sound artist and experimental
musician
who studied at the world renowned GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales)
in the field of musique concrète. He also studied sound engineering
and attended a cinema school. His aesthetic concern and direction as a
composer originate from a desire to give the listener a shifting or
blurred perception of soundscapes. Musical experiments with
sound-field materials or objects and instruments are composed mostly
through a "free association of brain stimulations", with some
collaborations or improvisations yielding patterns or structures, that
express musical ideas. His tropism towards sound scapes, sound
sculpting and gathering of spatials tools for compostion, provides him
with a better understanding and perception of sound, as a vector for
social awareness and wisdom.

He played for two years with a Javanese gamelan orchestra, and is
interested in merging ethnic intruments into electroacoustic music.
Amongst other collaborations, he has
worked with several dancers for Butoh performances, with french
composer/performer Eric Cordier a for live concert(2005), and with
Korean video performer, Heesok Yu, for a concert. He also contributes
and participates with much constancy to Framework, on Resonance FM
(London), which is a radio show dedicated to field recordings.

THIERRY MONNIER is a french musician who plays prepared guitar by
using different objects. His main focus is the guitar feedback and he
tries to work on
the sound itself by modelling it. His musical influence is at the
crossing of
experimental rock and « musique concrète ».
Since 2005, he has worked in a guitar duo with Pierre
Faure called Sun stabbed. He is also active as an organiser of
experimental
music shows at a venue called Le 102
(www.le102.net), and as a DJ playing experimental music
on a campus radio station. He runs a label with Pali
Meursault (universinternational).
