Anahita Ghasemi Nasab was born and raised in Ahwaz, Iran, the
grounding for her work lies in the deep understanding of the sonic aspects
of language, human speech, and the possibility of inducing visual perception
through aural data. As an artist, she is interested in walking between the
line of extreme and subtle. The subtle can carry extreme messages and the
extreme can have subtle nuances.
Her walking this line is in many cases meant literal. She’s using herself as
a subject to explore the individual suffering of humans and how to
overcome it. Given her musical background, the sound has been for a long
time not only her primary, but my only media. Recently she has reached a
point where she started to feel the need to use visual aspects like photos,
videos, and live performances as complementary layers in her projects.

Wingel Pérez Mendoza was born in Mexico City (1982). He got the Trinity College Bachelor degree in composition in 2009, later he studied at Rotterdam Conservatory with Robin de Raaff (composition Professor) and Rene Uijlenhoet (Electronic music Professor) in The Netherlands in which he got his Master's degree in composition in 2014. Later, he studied his Meisterklasse Komposition in the Hochschule für Musik Würzburg in Germany with Professor Robert HP Platz. He studies Meisterschüler-Studium Klangkunst Komposition (Bologna Third cycle) in the Hochschule für Musik Mainz with Prof. Peter Kiefer and Prof. Anke Eckardt.
For Wingel, the sound is a material that is made not only by sonic energy, but it is made by images, memories, lights, movements, actions like touching and thinking. Therefore, his personal interest as a composer and sound artist is to expand the context of sound, interacting with external sources such as electronic means (live electronics, video, space [sound environment and the interaction with nature], image, movement, sensors) and also the interaction with other arts such as dance and/or Theatre, in order to create new possibilities and new ways of perception. Moreover, He improvises and performs with different devices (digital and analog) as a part of his sound practice. Finally, as an exploration, he creates his own analog devices or digital instruments in order to find new sources of sounds.
