Roc Jiménez de Cisneros (Barcelona, 1975) is part of the computer music group EVOL together with
Scottish artist Stephen Sharp. Roc’s work explores processes of deformation, both literally and metaphorically, in
graphical pieces, light installations, essays and, especially, music. His recordings have been released on labels
such as Diagonal, Editions Mego, Presto!? Superpang, Reel Torque and iDEAL among others. His practice embraces
radical reduction, drawing on fluctuating micro-patterns, hard-edged synthesis, and a sharply tuned sense of
absurdity to bend and stretch some of his favourite cultural icons—from Catalan makina to old skool techno. He
calls it Acid Mereotopology.

Sofi (Sofia Zaiceva) is a Latvian sound artist, composer and performer. With a
background that spans classical piano training and electroacoustic composition to live coding and DJ scene, she
has
developed a distinctive approach to experimental electronic music that prioritises open-source approach and
immersive sonic experiences. Through creative coding, spatial sound design, and improvisational practice, she
excavates the relational qualities of sonic environments - revealing how digital processes can articulate deeply
human experiences. Her latest releases include collaborative album “SHE HAS CANDY” by duo CATPURSE (SØVN Records,
2025) and solo albums “hypergloss”(Superpang, 2025) "aze" (Riforma, 2024).
Sofi has been an active performer on Baltic scene, but also shared her performances across European platforms
including "Musikprotokoll" (Austria), "MeetFactory" (Czech Republic), “Panke Culture”(Germany) etc. Sofi is an
artist of the SHAPE+ platform (2024/2025) for innovative music and interdisciplinary art.

Lain Iwakura emerged in Frankfurt as rhythm-born signals and now works from Graz as a
rhythmanalyst, infrasignal artist, writer, and temporal saboteur, exploring sound, theory, and speculative
practice
to question perception, collective experience, and the very structures of time. She co-directed the influential
music labels Force Inc. and Mille Plateaux, as well as the theory platform NON, alongside their original founder
Achim Szepanski († September 22, 2024). She co-founded Collective O & the Institute for Sonic Welfare; curates for
Forum Stadtpark; and co-founded awaGraz and CMKK (Computermusik & Klangkunst).

úā is a temporal deformation of Jia Liu, composer and
computer musician based in Karlsruhe and active in Europe. She describes herself as a recursive commuter driver
between the formal and the sensual. She helps organize various events (Iterative ßpace, frmscrtch/nt, computer
music
club) with her fellow humans under the umbrella of "transdimensional oblivious pub for lonely acoustic people".
She
also has an ungoogleable project and band [ _ _ _ ] (Superpang, SP118, 2022).
