Nina Garcia:
Since 2015, Nina Garcia has been researching and creating around the electric guitar, halfway between improvised music and noise. Her set-up is reduced to a minimum: a guitar, a pedal, and an amp with which she sculpts sound and delves into chaos to bring out the unheard-of. Her concerts draw audiences into an immersive sonic space where power and fragility intersect with communicative intensity. In just a few years, she has attracted the attention of numerous international stages.
Nina Garcia presents a new work with a magnifying glass where the guitar is amplified by 1-inch zones. A fist linked to a micro-microphone, « ultra-territorial » music and total dependence of the sound on the slightest movement. What emerges from this new research is a tenfold increase in tension, forced silences, aborted feedback, and manufactured loops that are always trying to move forward. Her music is increasingly handmade, but always with a high intensity. In this new set we find her classical Mariachi folklore: threaded rods, saturated wedding and funeral noises, assertive rhythms and breaks, and a privileged link with the amp as a playing partner.
A duo rather than a solo, it stuns with its blend of technical mastery and total freedom. Nina converges between wildness and tenderness with her instrument, a tense corps à corps between two vibrant souls, music and choreography of raw poetry.

Maria Bertel
Is a danish trombone player, and composer. The acoustic sound of her amplified instrument creates an output that draws inspiration from drone and noise music. What is normally not hearable is presenting itself, movements, metal and breath becomes a swirling part of her compositions. Changing organic patterns are emerging, tiny sounds becomes brutally clear as well as the range of overtones of the instrument.
Apart from her work as a solo artist she performs and composes in groups like the notorious four piece noise rock band Selvhenter and improvised noise outfit duo Nina Garcia & Maria Bertel. She has also collaborated with artists like Chinese saxophone player Lao Dan, and Virginia Genta of Jooklo duo.
