Yann Leguay
Thru sounds and objects, Yann Leguay focuses on the notions of dematerialization, the use of interfaces and everything about the materiality of memory. In his sound practice he was defined as a “media saboteur” by the Consumer Waste label, seeking to fold this materiality in on itself using basic means in the form of objects, music and performances. He has presented his work in many places and festivals all around Europe and further. Since 2007, he’s also producing installations, sculptures and editions that integrates a critical approach to the meaning of the technological evolution. In concerts he tries to push the boundaries of accepted norms of audio behavior, using uncommon machineries for the playback of audio media: opened hard-drives as turntables, an angle grinder as a microphone, the sound of the electricity on its own… His records release activity is equally unusual, releasing readable silkscreen records, a 7” single without a central hole, or a record composed from recordings of vinyl being scratched by scalpel. His Phonotopy label proposes a conceptual approach to recording media. His work has been published on many labels and books such as ArtKillArt, Vlek, Consumer Waste, Tanuki, Third Type Tapes, Insubordinations…
Pali Meursault
Pali Meursault’s electroacoustic research turns into compositions for records, radio pieces, installations, or performances. His approach uses field recordings, inherits from musique concrète, and explores the sound environment to its audible limits: infra and
ultrasounds, and electromagnetic phenomena.
For over 15 years, he has been carrying his microphones and antennae to industrial and
urban places, alpine glaciers or amazonian forests. His last works capture the sounds of
workplaces, confronts animal communication and electromagnetic fields, or reveal the
hidden sound environment of data centers.
He is also involved in many collaborations with collectives (TT-Node, Ici-Même), other
musicians (Lee Patterson & Frédéric Nogray for the trio FANT^MS ; Nicolas Montgermont
for Feral_Bands) or filmmakers (Lise Fisher, Naïs Van Laer…).
Alongside these activities, he teaches and writes about sound art, he is responsible for
the recent french publication of an anthology of radioart pioneer Tetsuo Kogawa.

JD Zazie
JD Zazie is an experimental DJ, avant-turntablist and sound artist living between Berlin and Bolzano.
Coming from a DJ and a radiophonic background JD Zazie has explored over the years different approaches of real-time manipulation on fixed recorded sound. In her work she redefines DJ and electroacoustic activities. As a solo performer, in small groups or large ensembles she moves in an area which is constantly stretching the borders of what is supposed to be DJ mixing, free improvisation and composed music.
Intended as music instruments CDjs, turntables and mixer are her tools to mix the specific sound-sources she plays (mostly electronic music, electroacoustic music, musique concrète, field recordings and improvised music).
The typology of the sound-sources varies from already existing audio publications and sound effects, to self recorded audio files – as live-set and field-recordings -, to selected pre-mixed material. Juxtaposition, decontextualization, fragmentation, repetition, sonic texture, scratch and error are elements of the grammar adopted to relate, organize and rearrange the sound material.
In her sound installations she explores everyday life, refers to urbanism and relates to sound atmosphere.
