Silvia Cignoli graduated as a classical guitarist at the Verdi Conservatory (Milan) and in 2011 she obtained the Master of Arts in Music Performance (Italian Swiss Conservatory). She played in very different areas of interest, from classical music to musical, from theatre to opera.She specialized in experimental languages, thus she collaborates with many composers, ensembles and contemporary music festivals. Starting from her experience on classical and electric instrumentation, she creates site-specific and semi-improvised musical noisy soundscapes. Since she loves the interaction between different forms of art, she created the audiovisual project “irid”.
Chelsea Leventhal (Born 1985 in Berkshire County, USA) is a sound artist and composer of electroacoustic music based in Berlin, Germany. Her pieces engage the reanimation and articulation of space, perception of auditory archetypes and creation of sonic allegories, taking the form of multi-channel electroacoustic compositions, large-scale site-specific sound installations and sound objects involving kinetic components. She has received commissions from organizations such as ZKM in Karlsruhe, Pépinières Européennes pour Jeunes Artistes in Paris, id11 in Delft, Kultur Mitte in Berlin, and the Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik. Her works have been presented at IRCAM, the Inventionen Festival, MaerzMusik Festival, the Academy of the Arts in Berlin, the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, and other diverse locations in Europe.

Ann Warde is an independent composer, sound artist, and researcher. Her experimental projects are frequently informed by her previous scientific work with whale sounds as an analyst and programmer at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Her work has been recognized by a 2015-16 Fulbright Scholar award at the University of York’s Contemporary Music Research Centre, a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship at Cornell, through multiple artist residencies and performance grants, and by the West German Radio’s Forum for Young Composers.

Kristina Warren is a composer, improviser, and researcher based in Providence [US]. Warren’s multimodal practice centers individual and collective acts of listening and making noise. Her work has been programmed at events such as the Guthman Musical Instrument Competition [US], Ephémère [NL], Espace des arts sans frontières [FR], TENOR [CA, ES], and performed by ensembles including Chartreuse, Dither, JACK Quartet, and Sō Percussion. Currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Electronic Music & Multimedia at Brown University, Warren holds a PhD in Composition & Computer Technologies (University of Virginia, 2017) and a BA in Music Composition (Duke University, 2011).
Dr. Enrico Bertelli, performer, teacher and researcher. I founded Conductive Music CIC in 2012 to support young people in the creation and performance of their own music. We now deliver STEM-focused projects for youth engagement in the UK and internationally. Our methods are based in educational theory and feedback from young people, specialist teachers and SEN coordinators. We started with 200 students; now we reach out to 1.5k+ each year. We use free and open source technology and provide support for students of all ages, as well as teachers and creative practitioners. We collect and analyse feedback from all stakeholders, and share our analysis through articles, papers and conferences, for others to build upon. Here’s our latest video, based on a Bronze Art Award named Create:
