As a sound artist and performer Lia Mazzari’s practice is often collaborative, engaging new audiences through encounters with art in non-conventional spaces, physical and virtual. She likes to explore the divisions of site and non-site, private and public through live performance, sound installation and urban intervention. Lia creates recorded and live events that embrace the broader sense of sound in space. This fluid relationship with her environment and towards sonic activism as well as developing an extended technique with cello and whips form the crux of her practice.

Alice Kemp works with dream-image-language and subtle trance states, creating audio compositions and live-art performances. She lives in the South West of England, continually developing a practice of experimental music, audio composition, public and private performance, drawing and painting, doll/object making and hidden exhibits. Her work has been described as hypnotic, intense, unnerving, beautiful, dark and reflective, aggressive, confusing, meditative, pointless, brave, sensual, baffling, delicate, and absurd. Kemp has released music on Fragment Factory (DE), Harbinger Sound (UK), and Erratum Musical (FR).

HOAX is a company of theatre makers. They specialise in concrete piping and provocative contemporary work. They blend text, physical theatre and comedy to give voice to social and ecological issues. They are very serious and very silly.
