Psychic Liberation (PL) is a label founded in 2013, originally run with Miguel Alvariño under the name Primitive Languages as a cassette and record store project in New York City. Since 2019, Nick Klein has operated it solo from the EU under the title Psychic Liberation.
The concert series of the same name takes place in the Kuppelhalle with changing guests.
Andrea Pensado is a sound artist, educator and concert organizer. Originally from Argentina, she has been based in the USA since 2002.
Pensado uses voice and hybrid electronics to make her music. The approach to both programming and performance is highly intuitive. Occasionally, the combination of the performance situation, the irrational use of the voice and the inherent uncertainty of improvisations contributes to discoveries of unknown places in her mind.
Sattar Stas Shärifulla, aka HMOT, is a Basel-based artist, composer, and researcher studying how listening shapes identity and memory.
Born and raised in Eastern Siberia, with Yılan Bashqort ancestry (the “Bashkirs” of the Yelan clan), he explores the auditory nature of Northern and Central Asian autochthonous cultures, where listening and sounding have historically been more important than writing.
Working with both traditional instruments and computer music tools, Stas practices in performance, spatial sound and mixed media installation, open form composition, free improvisation, speculative sound fiction, soundwalks, and more. His main instrument is quray, a Bashqort open end-blown flute, whose traditional sound he augments with electroacoustics and extended techniques
bela (they/them) is a South Korean musician and performance artist based between Berlin and Prague. bela uses guttural vocals and feedback to build texture and resonance. Conceptually, their work often adopts an autobiographical voice that courses through lived experiences, lineage, and transcendence. In this regard, their music and performance ask to renew or expand the sense of locating around sounds and bodies within the social and celestial sphere.
A recent album and a performance of the same title, Korean Love Sonnets, is devoted to experimentation on the acoustics of the guttural voice in relation to other bodies and spaces. bela discovers romance in its most tactile form, leaning into creaks, feedback, and resonance to create a sombre yet intimate hour, suspended by inhuman notes above the material plane.

They have presented their work across different stages in Europe including Berghain, Trauma Bar und Kino, Schauspielhaus Zürich, Cafe OTO, A4 Bratislava among many others.
