Ipek Eginli (TR/US): piano
Ipek Eginli is a Turkish-American experimental sound artist and improviser who describes her music-making as “a process of a creation and a creation of a process.” Her ever-evolving creative process involves electroacoustic free improvisation on piano, voice, modular synthesizers, and no-input mixing boards. Eginli’s work is often described as adventurous, daring, playful, and vibrant. Watching her perform, one can witness a dynamic sonic exploration, effortlessly shifting between organic and mechanical sounds while evoking a range of emotions, from tender and soft to dark and explosive. She explores the convergence of acoustic and electronic sounds, blurring and, at times, overemphasizing the lines between the two to create surprising sonic illusions and interactions. Her electroacoustic solo debut album Field Recording in a Black Hole from WeirdCry Records and a live improvised duet album Explorers with cellist Daniel Levin from EyesAndEars Records were released in the summer of 2024, coinciding with her invitation to perform at the New York Electroacoustic Music Festival and her solo northeast US tour. Following her midwest tour, Eginli is now in the process of recording her third album with Purplish Records to be released in February 2025.

Jonathon Haffner, Kellen Mills, and Quentin Cholet formed a trio aptly titled Slow Pixel in Berlin that blurs the lines of composed and free-form chaos. Jonathon’s saxophone weaves between melody and noise, while Kellen’s bass drives rhythmic mayhem with atonal riffs, and Quentin’s drumming injects complex, shifting rhythms. Their sound blends frenetic noise with elements of jazz, shifting from drones and melodic passages to raw, gritty saxophone that grabs your attention. With asymmetrical riffs and moments of quiet elegance, their music distorts traditional boundaries, creating a genre that might just be Jazz 2.0. It’s a sonic journey from controlled dissonance to intense, in-your-face energy.
