Flora Yin Wong is an experimental artist and writer from London whose work incorporates field recordings and early instruments such as singing bowls, yangqin and kemence, processed through pedals, Max/MSP, together with text-based storytelling and abstraction. She cites early musical influences from the city’s diverse sub-cultures from UK garage to underground DIY bands, having grown up on council estates in Camden, to underage clubbing in Soho and Mayfair.

In October 2020, she released Holy Palm — her first record for Modern Love. Prior to that, she released on Berlin label PAN on the ambient ‘mono no aware’ compilation which she worked on conceptualising. In 2023 she launched her record label Doyenne based around the concept of the ‘divine feminine’. Her second album Cold Reading was released in 2023 by Modern Love, and her multi-channel composition for INA GRM will be released as part of their Portraits series of split LPs in 2024.

Arnaud Rivière (b. 1974) is a French experimental electroacoustic musician, free improviser, instrument designer, sound installation artist, co-founder and director of Sonic Protest Festival, and a member of ONCEIM ensemble.

Marja Ahti (f. 1981, Luleå) är en svensk-finsk ljudkonstnär som arbetar med komposition, installation och tvärdisciplinär performance.

Genom att arbeta med fältinspelningar, ljud från vardagliga föremål och material, analog syntes, digital bearbetning och akustiska instrument skapar hon exakta musikaliska berättelser med organiskt utvecklade sekvenser av detaljer och texturer. Hennes tålmodigt utvecklande elektroakustiska konstruktioner antyder en poetisk sfär mellan det akusmatiska och det dokumentariska, mellan abstraktion och det djupt bekanta.

Ahti är för närvarande baserad i Åbo, Finland. Hon är verksam i duon Ahti & Ahti tillsammans med sin partner Niko-Matti Ahti, i konstnärs- och arrangörskollektivet Himera och i samarbetsprojekt med Judith Hamann, John McCowen, Manja Ristić och Mikko Kuorinki.

Roberta Settels (1929-2014) was a composer and designer. She was born in New York, where she received her basic art and music education at the Juilliard School of Music and The Art Students League. She composed at Elektronmusikstudion in Stockholm and IRCAM in Paris, working mainly with computer music and concrete music.

Landscape with 3 tape-recorders… comes from the album Music in Crisis, which Settels released on her own label in 1984. However, the music on the disc was composed in the 1970s. The album Music in Crisis has an overall media-critical theme dealing with the fate of Ulrike Meinhof with a specific focus on her final time in solitary confinement. Paradoxically, in relation to this theme, Settels himself describes the work Landscape with 3 tape-recorders… as a pastoral composition with a certain lyrical mood associated with nature, and that the sound is reminiscent of classical music even though it was recorded from objects in the environment and processed using electronic equipment.

Isak Hedtjärn plays the clarinet — a straight, metal variant of the more common wooden B flat Clarinet.

A polymath of undeniable musicality, Isak is a constant, always invigorating presence across a breadth of ‘scenes’ in Stockholm be it via in his own groups — Grismask, Svenska Folkjazzkvartetten, Festen — or making guest appearances in concert and on record with Viagra Boys, Fire! Orchestra, Rotem Geffen, Kali Malone and many many more.

His online notoriety as @JazzIsak, the deft editor of a stream of classic jazz and tiktok dance/crash mashups is not only a riotous good time but gives you some other small window into the scope and scale of his knowledge of and feeling for all the music that has gone before.
