Viola Yip is a New York-based experimental composer, performer, sound artist and instrument builder. Her recent interests fall on designing new experimental instruments to explore the sonic materiality through found objects, the interactive relationships between performative gestures, instruments, space, as well as her own composer-performer body as an intersectional work-in-progress.

Adam Pultz Melbye is a bassist currently living between Belfast and Berlin. A fascination with resonance, acoustics and psychoacoustics has led to the development of new instrumental techniques and approaches to the double bass that causes the instrument to sing and vibrate in unexpected ways.
Recently, much of his time has gone into the development of performance ecosystems, based on the dialogue between acoustic instruments and digital technology, often using feedback as a mediator between these environments.
