Part of the multidisciplinary festival ASAP Heartbreak

Paris-based artist Aho Ssan, Niamké Désiré, creates electronic music through self-built digital instruments, exploring perception, identity, and social structures. His work has been presented at major venues including CTM Festival, Lincoln Center, and Muziekgebouw Amsterdam.
Violinist ASIA, Asia Jiménez Antón de Vez, artist-in-residence at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris, works across contemporary classical music and interdisciplinary collaboration. She has performed internationally at venues such as Wigmore Hall, Teatro La Fenice, and Palau de la Música.
Together, they develop new work that brings electronic composition and extended violin practice into close dialogue.
-----
Liew Niyomkarn is a sound artist and composer based between Brussels and Bangkok, with a background in experimental sound practice and performance. Her work primarily explores layers of sound, repetition of notes, harmonic spectra, and resonances achieved through acoustic string instruments such as the zither and lyre, which she employs to craft various tuning systems. She integrates field recordings to capture the essence of time and the narration of memory through sound. These elements are woven into her sonic palette, highlighting the intrinsic properties of sound—its polyphonic characteristics, slowness, nostalgia, and the manipulation of extended decays and harmonics. She presents her work through live performances and sound installations.
