PNØ
Agnes Hvizdalek – voice
Jakob Schneidewind – electronics
PNØ is the duo project of experimental vocalist Agnes Hvizdalek and techno innovator Jakob Schneidewind on electronics. They combine minimalistic musical structures with organic improvisations, pure vocal sounds with drum machines, synthesizers and effects that trigger and manipulate each other’s output. Although they went in different directions with their artistic careers, Agnes Hvizdalek and Jakob Schneidewind have been collaborating since they met in improvisation classes at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna in 2005. Their vision for the future of music makes them explore crossing points between free improvisation and electronic dance music.

HUUUM
Omid Darvish – vocals
Álvaro Collao Leon – saxophone
Rojin Sharafi – electronics
HUUUM is the live project of Omid Darvish, Rojin Sharafi and Álvaro Collao Leon, merging folk-influenced Iranian vocals with free jazz, ambience, electronic beats and impulses, bringing us dance music of an entirely new kind. HUUUM is synonymous with synthesis, openness, substance and avid noncompliance. Atypical rhythms and microtonal music, singing in multiple languages, sensitive improvisation, and the interlacing of artforms and cultures – HUUUM leads with transcension and lands with unstoppable movement. Both defying and bonding traditions simultaneously, HUUUM is reinventing our geopolitical musical landscape – via powerfully succulent vocals, deep-burrowing beats, clanging percussive effects and ever-moody reeds. Together, the trio tackles the question of how to find a form of expression of one’s own instrument for and within the sonic world of the respective other culture (e.g., the attempt to create pieces for the Serna – a Persian wind instrument – on the Western-originated instrument, the saxophone). The challenge is not small, nor is the outcome. The power of learning, unlearning and relearning is a palpable tool and guiding light for the trio’s creative input and output. And the result, heard and felt by the listener, is intensely satisfying. HUUUM is the living embodiment of the unknown, the re-learned, and the profoundly unapologetic – with nothing to stop it but the club’s last call.
