Maria w Horn is a Stockholm based composer oscillating between minimalist structures and piercing power electronics in order to manipulate time and space and invoke altered mental states by means of analog and digital synthesis, acoustic instrumentation, and audio-visual components. She is a part of Sthlm Drone Society - an association working to promote slow and gradually evolving timbral music, co-operates the label XKatedral, and is a member of the studio collective Dromfakulteten. Horn’s 2018 album ‘Kontrapoetik’ on Portals Editions / XKatedral is a counter-exorcism of the turmoiled history of her home region Ångermanland in the North of Sweden as well as output from an artistic research project in the form of a satanic feminist sect.

Mats Erlandsson is part of the vibrantly reemerging field of drone music in Stockholm, Sweden, as well as being a studio assistant at the world-renowned Electronic Music Studio (EMS). Erlandsson presents his work both as a solo artist and in collaborations, most notably together with Yair Elazar Glotman, performing together at this year’s The Long Now in Kraftwerk, and has previously released on Posh Isolation and Miasmah. His album ‘Hypodermic Letters’, recently released on Portals Editions, is a shimmering interplay of the extremely remote and the radically intimate, like light magically made audible, while in continuous disintegration, vascillating between the real and the illusory.
