VICENTE MATEUS, PAULA SANCHEZ, MARIJA KEROCEVIC, GABRIEL VALTCHEV

VICENTE MATEUS
_{Vicente Mateus vive e trabalha no Porto, desenvolvendo um percurso situado entre as artes plásticas, o som e o desenho, com especial foco na percussão, enquanto espaços de construção performativa e exploração sensorial. O seu trabalho cruza práticas colaborativas e processos de partilha, utilizando a repetição e o erro como ferramentas para a criação de objetos, sons e imagens. Desde 2022, integra a equipa da Sonoscopia, estrutura dedicada à criação, experimentação e reflexão a partir do som.}PAULA SANCHEZ
_{Situated at the intersections of experimental music, free improvisation and performance art, Paula Sanchez’ work is focused on the composition/decomposition and destruction/re-construction of a mutable sound space. She stands out for her use of extended techniques and unconventional ways of playing, working with materials like plastic, glass and elements from nature combined with voice and electronics.}

MARIJA KOVAČEVIĆ
_{Serbian born, New York City based violinist Marija Kovačević works in classical, experimental and improvised music. Her project “Music for Broken Violins” is an exploration of sonic textures with broken violins, bows and their fragments. Marija has developed an idiosyncratic vocabulary of dragging strings, playing cracks, bowing broken bodies, wrapping loose hair, and creaking pegs. In performance, there is a minimalist, ritualistic structure to her unembellished studies, as each instrument is approached in procession, with silence in between each visceral deviance from the accepted technical norms.}

GABRIEL VALTCHEV
_{Percussionist, drummer and improviser, develops his artistic identity in the fields of contemporary music, traditional Balkan music and improvised/alternative music. His approach detaches him from aesthetic restrictions to immerse himself in the accidental, the sensory and confusion, whether physical or emotional.}

KIRA KREMPOVA + HOCHIWAH + AXEL LARSEN + JANIK WEU

AXEL LARSEN (FR)
_{Axel Larsen is member of the French freebase label Simple Music Experience and in bands like Radiante Pourpre, Simplists and Parasite Jazz. Solo he released two EPs on Macadam Mambo, ‘Les Elements du Crime’ still 10 » of dynamite and an absolute favorite. Metallic post-punk/post-industrial club slugs made with homemade, cheap and discarded technologies, equipment, tape recorders and effect units, are mixed, treated and dubbed live on multitrack tapes. A razor sharp and radical, chilling and distinct assault.}HOCHIWAH (BE)
_{Hochiwah is an exploration of sound and a magical attempt by Mars Goodwater (BE), one half of Pairi Daeza, And The, and the newest addition to Parasite Jazz.
Drawing on her healing practice as a massage therapist, Hochiwah opens an intimacy to the outside, presenting an odd travelogue where self, other and environment glide together, full of sincerity and intuitions, cultivating fantasy and playful poetry. Following the release of a tape on ABrecords, new albums are on the way, including a live recording on Sbire and fresh compositions on Nonlocal Research.
Reflective and serene, Hochiwah’s electronic landscapes host whimsical melodies overlaid with divine brass that melts even the coldest of hearts.’ Absolute fiction}KIRA KREMPOVA (UKR)
_{Kira Krempova is a flutist from Ukraine whose music lives between breath and electricity. A few years ago, her journey brought her to Berlin, where she discovered new ways to express herself in music . She is known for her work with the bands Heavenphetamine and Saturns Drive, playing synths, flute, and vocals. Currently, she is working on her debut album. Alongside this, she has been DJing for the past two years — a practice that continuously expands her musical language and deepens her search for new sounds.}

_{Based in Valencia and the head of Mascarpone Discos, Jose Guerrero (aka Telomante) is a prolific producer behind projects like Sentuhlà (Abstrakce Records) and Rastrejo, who has been touring the world and recording with many different projects for more than 20 years. He was part of cult bands like Betunizer or Jupiter Lion, playing intensively from the most legendary underground places to renowned music festivals such as Primavera Sound or Sonar. His sound is a contemplative stroll through soundscapes where harmonic fields and abrupt experimentations intersect in a landscape of pure improvisation.}MEGABASSE (BE)
_{Directly from Brussels and a member of Omertà, Tans Mein Herz, and Bujeau, Pierre Bujeau brings his solo project to our space. He comes to make the waves spat out by his double-neck guitar reverberate against the walls of ARM5A in a display of melodic and immersive minimalism.}

BEAR BONES LAY LOW (VEN)
_{For over a decade, the Venezuelan now long-time based in Belgium, has been creating psychedelic electronic sound by juxtaposing digital and analog sources. Using repetitive melodies and rhythms combined with dissonant sounds, BBLL wishes to induce a multilayered trance that allows solemn listening as well as ecstatic dancing in a mental space where the archaic meets the futuristic, where the earthly meets the cosmic. His live performances have attracted many music fans from different horizons, allowing him to play in varied contexts ranging from strictly experimental music festivals like Échos in the valleys of Le Saix, to open-minded night-clubs such as Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf or Contact Club in Tokyo and everything in between. As an active musician in Belgium’s experimental underground he has also been part of numerous free music outfits including the late Silvester Anfang/Sylvester Anfang II and is currently active with the electronic duo Tav Exotic amongst other projects. With releases on different labels such as Kraak, Ekster, Lullabies for Insomniacs and BAKK to mention only a few, his most recent material has been released on the Rush Hour affiliated No Label series.}
