Melody Chua (she/they) is an international, transdisciplinary artist focused on conscious listening, expansive empathy, and aligning with inner truths. Initially trained as a flutist, Melo explores improvisation with electronics, creating interactive installations and performances. She developed the sensor-augmented flute (Chaosflöte) and the improvisation machine (AIYA) to challenge perceptions of identity and human-machine interaction. Melo's work spans 360° videos, Ambisonics/3D audio, motion capture, live-coding, and sensor-augmented instruments. She is a doctoral candidate at the Kunstuniversität Graz and Zürich University of the Arts, with a research focus on visual frameworks for improvisation machines. Co-founder of Null-state and STUDIO ZYKLOS, Melo is also active in teaching and research at Zürich University of the Arts and the elea Foundation for Ethics in Globalization.

Luis Sanz: computer music, hybrid synthesizer (Zurich)

Luis Sanz is a multidisciplinary artist working with synthetic sounds, computer graphics, and physical audiovisual experiences. His installations explore the relationships between bodies and spaces, creating immersive environments that merge video, spatial sound, light, and field recordings. As a musician, Sanz utilizes programming languages to develop rhythmic techniques and algorithmic processes in both digital and analogue formats. His sonic works blend noise, rhythms, and processed field recordings. He co-founded Fakedac~, an algorithmic art platform in England, and Amarus, an experimental music network in Switzerland.

"Catatonic Leisure alone" - power electronics/noise solo project of Anton Ponomarev.

An invitation to witness the convergence of chaos and intricate engineering, where the unpredictable dance of frequencies collides with deliberate sonic architecture. Imagine being swept away by the erratic beats of a rebellious heartbeat, only to be expertly reconstructed into a symphony of organized pandemonium. Step into the realm where sound is not just heard but felt, where chaos is not feared but embraced!
