She has lead percussion ensembles, and regularly tours as a drummer in the US and Europe. She has collaborated with Dave Burrell, William Parker, saxophonist Gary Hassay, Andrea Pensado (electronics/voice), Mia Zabelka, Maggie Nicols, Phil Minton, butoh dancer Ryuzo Fukuhara (JP, SI), among others.https://unredeemable.bandcamp.com/

Boris Janje, a double bassist born in Zagreb, Croatia currently residing in Ljubljana, Slovenia. His musical journey is characterized by a deep commitment to expanding the sonic and musical possibilities of his instrument. Formal education laid a foundation in classical double bass. However, curiosity led to the realm of free improvised music, where he has spent years researching and performing. This work is distinguished by an individualized musical vocabulary that employs both standard and extended playing techniques, particularly within the sphere of non-idiomatic improvisation. This approach allows him to explore the sonic potential of the double bass. https://www.instagram.com/borisjanje/
 

Vanja Dabić, Belgrade. With roots in classical piano practice, Vanja Dabic focuses on exploring the instruments in the way that resonate with her inner melody and that challenge the preconceived musical structures. She has a great interest in the nature of sound and its vibration, as well as the effect it has on the breathwork of both performers and the audience. In recent years, she has been exploring the music of Indonesia through the studies of ethnomusicology and anthropology in Central Java, and familiarised herself with the Maqamat musical system Her interests brought her to the research studies of non-institutionalised music learning among the Gamelan communities in Central Java, and the Tarawangsa tradition in the Sunda region (Western Java).Throughout the years she collaborated with number of sound artists by the use of piano and other acoustic instruments, or an electronic set-up, performed solo classical and ambient works in Serbia, Croatia, Czech, UAE, China, Slovenia, and Indonesia. Since 2016 Vanja has been an active member of a Sound Art Collective “Tse-Tse-Fly Middle East”, using Sound Art to reflect on the social issues regarding events in the Middle East and the diaspora of the UK. https://www.instagram.com/_nirvanja_/
