Dominique Vaccaro (IT) & Mario de Vega (MX)
Dominique Vaccaro is mainly focused on collage in a broad meaning of the term, extending the field of action from the visual to include sound. Self-taught musician, he has experimented for years with the various possibilities of magnetic tape mixing short waves, field recordings, voice, guitars and other instruments, objects, feedback and all kind of residual sound. His approach to all of these is emotive, intimate and instinctive, flowings of sonic improvisation alternating frenetic phrases with calm, delicate moments.

Mario de Vega’s work overlaps relations between stability, failure, simulation and ambiguity with site-specific interventions, sound events, process-oriented projects, sculpture and sound improvisation.
As an improviser, his practice explores the value of fragility & in-determination involving a wide range of customized objects, analog and modified electronics, turntables and computer based interfaces in different combinations.
El Gusano Rojo(FR) aka Yvan Volochine is a musician, producer and programmer. He runs the label “Hijos de Puta”, on which he produced several obscure and original music records since 2001.
Now based in Berlin, he programs his own instruments to perform live.

Timur Kuyanov(RUS) genre – nanostep
He will not let those giant excellent-sounding machines full of high-grade electronic components producing mind-blowing musical progressions take control over him! Using new generation of embedded devices, micro synthesizers and minimum of controls artist proves possibility of producing massive-sounding and dynamic performance in aesthetics of synthesized organic structures reminding one of neo-futuristic dreams of cyberpunk megapolis daily life.
JULIAN BONEQUI(MX)
He tries to break the drum itself and the use of percussion and what it represents as a symbolic figure in music. His exploration involves the decomposition of sound between freedom and silence, harmonic flow environments and circular textures over emotional discontrol and feedback.
