DJ JD Zazie
DJ SNIFF [Takuro Mizuta Lippit ] | DJing
His musical work builds upon a distinct practice that combines DJing, instrument design and free improvisation. He is interested in how a mediated musical memory, from archival collections of vinyl records to digitally captured sound events during a performance, can be used to create a new sonic reality that emerges through the fleeting notion of the “now.” This pursuit has led him to create customized instruments that allow him to intuitively access and re-play these different temporalities ingrained in our listening consciousness. His live performances range from carefully constructed solo sets to improvisational groups with virtuosic instrumentalists.
OKKYUNG LEE | Cello
Native of Korea, has been developing her own voice in a contemporary cello performance, improvisation and composition. with her solid classical training as a foundation, she incorporates jazz, sounds, korean traditional music, and noise with extended techniques to create her unique blend of music.
Swedish poet, sound and performance artist, living in Malmö and Berlin. Thörn’s absurdist work is inspired by Fluxus, Åke Hodell, Öyvind Fahlström and Sten Hanson. He has published more than ten books since his debut in 2002, among them Celebrities That I Delivered Mail to (2002), One Evening I Imagined That I Was Mentally Ill (2005) and Your Friend, the Computer Machine (2008). In June 2008, the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter called him “Sweden’s currently most important writer”. In December 2005, he received the Åke Hodell scholarship by the association Fylkingen for “a socially engaged and original art, where the unexpected and uncompromising stand side by side with the innovative use of both old and new technologies”.
