France Jobin is a sound / installation / artist, composer and curator residing in Montreal, Canada. Her audio art can be qualified as “sound-sculpture”, revealing a minimalist approach to complex sound environments where analog and digital intersect. Her installations express a parallel path, incorporating both musical and visual elements inspired by the architecture of physical spaces. Her works can be “experienced” in a variety of unconventional spaces and new technology festivals across Canada, the United States, South America, South Africa, Europe, Australia, Japan and South Korea. Since 2009, her focus has been related to Quantum mechanics. Many of her projects are inspired by theories related to topics such as vacuum decay, string theory and more recently, what she feels to be the most perplexing phenomenon in the world of the quantum , entanglement resulting in a first presentation, Entanglement A/V, with visual artist Markus Heckmann, which delves into the realms of quantum physics premiered at Mutek Mtl 2021.

Ali Robertson, an award-winning improvising musician from Edinburgh, has been active in the experimental music scene for over twenty-five years, touring across three continents and becoming a regular on the international music festival circuit. His work exists on the periphery of what can be described as music, incorporating elements of improvisation, noise, composition, chance, comedy, spoken word, visual art, and storytelling. Best known for his work in the free improv performance duo Usurper, which he and cartoonist Malcy Duff performed as between 2003 and 2023, and for his work with the inclusive ensemble Sonic Bothy, as both a player and a workshop facilitator, Ali also performs solo and has collaborated with countless artists worldwide. Since 2000, he has operated the imprint Giant Tank, releasing dozens of CDs, cassettes, LPs, and publications, and hosting an ongoing series of concerts in Edinburgh under the TFEH banner, alongside his co-curator Firas Khnaisser.

Cindy Islam is a Glasgow-based Iraqi veiled sound artist who layers drone frequencies with prayers. Their work begins with a core belief that all art-making is an act of listening — whether to our individual or collective histories / behaviours / philosophies / traumas / futures. Working across media, they primarily explore this framework of listening through sound.

Lauren Sarah Hayes is a Scottish improviser, sound artist, and scholar who is recognised for her embodied approach to computer music. Her music is a mix of experimental pop/live electronics/techno/noise/free improvisation and has been described as "voracious" and "exhilarating". Her performances stretch, transform, and sculpt sound by manipulating, remixing, and bending voice, drum machines, analogue synths and self-built software live and physically. Her shows are highly gestural, exploring the ephemeral and fragile relationships between sounds, spaces, and audiences. Over nearly two decades, she has developed and honed her live electronics improvisation system, an instrument that allows her to playfully navigate between the realms of responsiveness and unpredictability in both her solo performances and numerous collaborations.

Lucia H Chung is a Taiwanese artist based in London, United Kingdom. She performs and releases music under the alias ‘en creux’ where the sound creation springs from her fascinations in noise generated through no-input feedback mixing board. The volatile nature of the system and the unpredictable glitch from the excessive energy pouring into the equipment becomes her improvisational and compositional strategy.
