Augustė Vickunaitė is a sound experimentalist with a background in physics. She exclusively employs vintage reel-to-reel tape recorders to play, record, and create sounds, articulating 

diverse layers of recordings including found material, field recordings, voice, music instruments, objects, and the whole spectrum of malfunctions of decaying technology. Auguste specializes in tape music, noise, and collage music, known for her theatrical and darkly humorous approach, often exploiting errors of analog audio equipment. Her solo work encompasses tape loops and collages of found audio tapes. 

Her most notable performances include appearances at venues such as Studium P and Retrito Smarsas in Vilnius, Cafe Oto in London, Km28 and Volksbuehne (Psychic Liberation series at Roter Salon) in Berlin, Fylkingen in Stockholm, and many others. She has also participated in festivals like Seanaps (Leipzig), Braille Satellite (Lithuania), Troglobatem (Stuttgart), and has created Radio art works for Cashmere Radio in Berlin, Rasų Radijas in Vilnius, and KunstRadio in Vienna, among others.

Seijiro Murayama (Nagasaki, Japan) began performing improvised music in 1972 and was heavily influenced by Vinko Globokar and Fumio Koizumi. After graduating from Tokyo University in 1982, he toured the US with Keiji Haino. Returning to Japan, he joined K.K. Null’s noise/rock band A.N.P. (Absolut Null Punkt) while further exploring free improvisation. Murayama relocated to France in 1999, where he expanded his work into dance, theatre, and performance, collaborating with musicians like Jean-Luc Guionnet, Eric La Casa, Axel Dörner, and Cyprien Busolini. In 2013, he returned to Japan shifting his artistic focus to the interdisciplinary relationships between music and other art forms, engaging in improvisation as a major concern. Murayama’s approach emphasizes spaces/places, the energy of the audience, and the perception of silence.

Axel Dörner (Köln, Germany) began playing piano at age 9 and trumpet at 11. He studied with Jon Eardley (1983–1986) and later at the Musikhochschule in Köln. Dörner performed in various groups, including The Streetfighters, Die Enttäuschung, and Monks Casino. In 1994 he moved to Berlin, and began his research into extended trumpet techniques and musical structures that led him to work with Robin Hayward, Andrea Neumann, and Annette Krebs. Dörner’s solo work began with Trumpet (2001). Since then his discography has expanded to over 150 releases, including some collaborative work with Murayama, ‘Afore 2’ being the latest.  Since 2000, he has developed an electronic extension of his trumpet music, creating his own language. Dörner is renowned for his unique approach to free improvisation and his non-hierarchical collaborations in ensemble.
