Assaf Shatil is an interdisciplinary composer, pianist, improviser, singer/songwriter and educator based in Tel Aviv, Israel. His practice intersects sound and poetry, investigating the intricacies of performance as a liminal space imbued with aspects of ritual, contemplation, and transfigured temporality. Premieres of his work have been performed by ensembles such as Musica Nova(Israel), Israel Contemporary Players, The Jerusalem Symphony, Jack Quartet(NYC), WasteLAnd(LA), The Sound ensemble(Seattle), Ninth Planet(SF) and others. He completed his DMA in music composition at the University of California, Santa Cruz where he worked with Larry Polansky, Michelle Lou and David Evan Jones.

Eyal Cohen is a multidisciplinary artist based in Jerusalem:

"Fuelled by a curiosity to explore the interplay between our world and the sounds it generates, I've crafted sonic 'etudes' that blend various artistic practices, incorporating edited field recordings, samples, and curated YouTube videos. The final segment of the chapter, spanning the last four minutes, features a musical contribution from Shaul Dahan's album."

Special thanks to Neomi Ela Dery for lending her voice in both English and French.

In this radio show Dubious makes use of a tape loop as a gatherer and generator of new encounters between the different sounds. Sources being used: LP record, recorded tapes, dead tapes clicks and hums amplifies with a coil pickup.

New sound artwork composed during a blitz session in Studio Loos (Den Haag) by Leonie Roessler and Hagai Izenberg in November 2022.

A Mad Woman's Tale explores the surreal and often chaotic nature of daily life. Drawing on a range of everyday sounds, including a washing machine, a sewing instructional audio, and live radio sampling, the work invites the audience to immerse themselves in a world of familiar noises, creating their own interpretation of the piece.

Leonie Roessler is a composer and performer raised in Germany and the US, now based in The Hague, Netherlands. Leonie captures her environment with field recordings, which she uses for radio pieces, sound installations, and instrumental compositions.

She runs the radio branch of Studio LOOS in The Hague. Her works have been released through Musica Dispersa (Spain/UK), and Noise á Noise (Iran) and have been physically archived in the British Library.

Live set by Alex Drool, recorded in Tel-Aviv.

Drool is one of the most influential and pivotal artist in the experimental music community in Israel.

He has collaborated with Blood Stereo, Adam Bohman, Fritz Welch, Eran Sachs, NicoTeen and many others artists and musicians.

He uses sound as a primitive, fragile, very personal medium, "a counter- drug to the common sense of everyday life, ancient mud to wade through and produce splashes of grace and embarrassment."
