Her practice spans spatial installations, compositions for organ and ensemble, and works that explore the perceptual thresholds of tone, time and resonance. Trained under La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela, Arkbro has developed a language rooted in just intonation, while expanding its expressive potential beyond the asceticism often associated with minimalist traditions.
Hanne Lippard has been using language as the raw material for her work for the last decade, processing it in the form of texts, vocal performances, sound installations, printed objects and sculpture. The artist has developed a practice that lies at the confluence of spoken and written word, wherein she appropriates content from the public sphere, chiefly from online sources or from the field of advertising. Lippard intertwines found text with her own material, which she then manipulates through a variety of techniques,, in order to formulate musings on contemporary life.
Morgana is the sound project of Leonardo Guidi, an Italian artist working with processed recordings, digital manipulation, and fragile, time-based structures. His performances unfold through dissonant textures, ruptures, silences, and distorted fragments. Rather than adhering to a defined genre or aesthetic, Morgana works through intuition and attention, allowing each piece to emerge from the material conditions of sound itself.
