Ryoko Ono
Ryoko Ono is a Japanese saxophonist, flutist, composer, and recording artist who specializes in improvised music and works for saxophone and electronics. She performs across a wide range of genres, including blues, jazz, progressive rock, noise, and avant-garde music.
Across all of these styles, her approach remains consistent, defined by a solid yet romantic expression.
Hanno Leichtmann is a sound artist and curator from Berlin known for his influential contributions to the electronic music scene and his festival curations. His work spans various genres, from experimental electronics to ambient and minimal techno. His artistic vision is characterised by subtle soundscapes, delicate rhythms and a penchant for sound exploration.
Leichtmann has been working primarily as a sound artist based on sound archives in the last 10 years. His extensive work Nouvelles Aventures was exhibited at the International Summer Courses for New Music, Darmstadt and his percussive sound installation Skin, Wood, Traps, developed during a residency in Wellington, New Zealand, was shown at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin.
In 2018, he created a six-channel sound installation for the company Sasha Waltz & Guests during a residency at Villa Aurora, which premiered in Berlin the same year with dancers from the company. 2021, he created the sound installation and audio piece SECULUM for the 100th anniversary of the Donaueschinger Musiktage, the oldest and most important festival for Contemporary Music today.
Sergeant makes music like editing an erratic film: cutting, splicing, and reassembling sounds into a whirlwind of unexpected turns. The trio, filmmaker/composer Benjamin Cools, search-singing actor Ferre Marnef, and sonic surfer Geraldine Vanspauwen, strike a delicate balance between post-punk’s jagged edges, krautrock’s relentless drive, and a pop energy that keeps your heart racing.
Their sound is a plunderphonic mess of fractured rhythms and clashing textures: always on the move, never in balance. It’s like The Avalanches throwing a party with pagan whistles, distorted bells, and dubby basslines. Flutes squawk as if they’re trying to outrun the beat, and melodies splinter into chaotic joyrides. Imagine Micachu & The Shapes playing hopscotch with Robert Wyatt, or Sonic Youth dissolving in a glass of sparkling water and vodka: fizzy, intoxicating, yet brutally honest at the end.
