Viola Yip, born and raised in Hong Kong, now based in Berlin, is an experimental composer, performer, improviser, sound artist and instrument builder. In her practice, she develops unorthodox self-built instruments, compositions and performances that explore the complex and dynamic relationships between materiality, media, space, human body and machine body through sounds.

Jens Vetter is a German media artist and musician based in Vienna. His work connects music, art, and technology, with a focus on sound art, interactive installations, and digital culture. Drawing inspiration from urban environments and everyday situations, he creates sonic interactions that function as musical instruments and also recreate memories or challenge expectations.
As a musician he is drawn to synthesized soundscapes, just-in-time composition and pattern-based live performances. His work has been presented at international exhibitions and festivals such as Lab30 (DE), Mutek SF (US), Ars Electronica (AT) or Speculum Artium (SI). At the Tangible Music Club he will present a spectacular live celebration of synthesizers and samplers, accompanied by a dazzling fireworks display of ecstatic drums that spin the club through the shredder and nail the speakers to the wall.
Till Bovermann aka LFSaw is a Berlin-based sound artist and scientist, working with field recording and interactive sound programming, creating sonic experiences and hypothetical islands of immersion and reflection.
As professor for Sound Art at HMTM München, he teaches creative coding, sound art and artistic research. Till is co-founder of the company “plonk” and part of the artist collectives “friendly.organisms” and “wait and hear”. Alongside his artistic and academic work, Till develops software in and for SuperCollider, Python, and Faust.
