Alice Kemp (b.1972) explores an idiosyncratic praxis of experimental music, audio composition, public/private performance and nonperformance, drawing, writing, and doll-making. Her work is largely informed by states of dream, disturbance, and subtle trance. Kemp is a Schimpfluch affiliate, living and working in Devon, England.

Since the late 90’s, Arnaud Rivière manipulates his own collection of objects & rudimentary electroacoustic devices to explore and enjoy the nature of sound. Concerts, recordings, sound installations, workshops, videos or organization of indoor and/or outdoor sonic gatherings … ways are multiple to share with enthusiasm the social consequences of sound propagation in space … in situ & usually as much as possible in vivo !.

Audrey Chen is a 2nd generation Chinese/Taiwanese-American musician who was born into a family of material scientists, doctors and engineers, outside of Chicago in 1976. Parting ways with the family convention, she turned to the cello at age 8 and voice at 11. After years of classical and conservatory training in both instruments, with a resulting specialization in early and new music, she parted ways again in 2003 to begin new negotiations with sound in order to discover a more individually honest aesthetic. Since then, using the cello, voice and occasional analog electronics, Chen’s work delves deeply into her own version of narrative and non-linear storytelling.
A large component of her music is improvised, is completely un-processed and her approach to this is extremely personal and visceral. Her playing explores the combination and layering of an analog synthesizer, preparations and traditional and extended techniques in both the voice and cello. She works to join these elements into a singular ecstatic personal language.

Duma was formed in 2018 by vocalist Martin Khanja and guitarist/producer Sam Karugu. Both of them had been playing in various bands in Nairobi,but the duo came together in Kampala, Uganda after Khanja moved there to work with the label Nyege Nyege Tapes. The duo's musical style was influenced by the electronic music they had been listening to and playing on synthesizers and computers before as well as metal they had been playing in their former bands Lust of a dying breed and seeds of datura, as well as their desire to experiment with a more electronic version of the metal music they had been making up until that point.The band's name, Duma, means "darkness" in the Kikuyu language.

An improvising lyricist, producer and sound artist from Bridgend, Wales, who builds aberrant beats from field recordings, tape, vinyl, instrument and voice. Using sound and voice as an expansive language transgressing intrinsic systemics and inherited syntactical etiquettes, her live shows are unyielding bursts of erupting animation where her caustic stream of consciousness cavorts with restless, glitched out heaviness.

Junko Hiroshige has performed with Hijokaiden as a vocalist since 1982. She has appeared on all official Hijokaidan records. She is known for her powerful, relentless voice, and confrontational voice.  The uniqueness of her voice has recently gained increasing Western attention, and Junko has been involved in a number of recent collaborations with musicians from outside the Japanese noise scene.

Rudolf Eb.er’s body of work, from painting to performance art to experimental music, explores and maps access to the traumatic depths of the human psyche. Through combinations of science, therapeutic actionism, electro-acoustic sound environments and obscure occult practices, Eb.er generates psycho-physical experiences and exceptional musical situations with the purpose and function of widening perception and eventually overcoming the ego, experiencing the true nature of being.
Born 1967 in Switzerland, Eb.er founded the outsider art and music collective Schimpfluch in 1987. After studying knowledge visualisation and arts in Zürich, Eb.er relocated to Asia in 1997 and is currently living and working on his farm near Osaka, Japan.

Roc Jiménez de Cisneros (Barcelona, 1975) is an artist. In 1996, he founded the computer music project EVOL, which has been the core of much of his artistic output to date. His approach can be understood as an aesthetic exploration of algorithmic composition and a deconstruction of rave culture. His work has been released by international record companies such as Entr’acte, Mego, Presto!? and fals.ch, and on his own record label, ALKU, which he co-directs with Anna Ramos since 1997. Straddling psychedelia and academia, Jiménez de Cisneros has presented his work live and in installation form at galleries, museums and clubs in Europe, North America and Asia.
