France Jobin

Montreal, CA

France Jobin, audio/installation artist and film composer, is based in Montreal. Her audio art, described as "sound sculpture," is distinguished by a minimalist approach to complex sound environments, existing at the intersection of analog and digital. Her installations follow a parallel path, integrating musical and visual elements inspired by the architecture of the spaces they inhabit. Her installations and live performances can be "experienced" in a variety of unconventional spaces and at international new technology festivals. Jobin has released numerous solo albums on renowned labels such as popmusik records (JP), LINE (US), Baskaru (FR), ATAK (JP), ROOM40 (AU), No-ware (CL-DE), and more recently Editions Mego. While her music often explores themes of restraint and limitation, it does not shy away from extremes. Her skillful interplay between high and low frequencies, amplitude, and silence creates a complex narrative that destabilizes the listener's perception, continually refocusing their attention. The pandemic provided a turning point, offering time to deepen her art-science research. In 2021, she launched the Entanglement series with visual artist Markus Heckmann, inspired by quantum entanglement principles, Entanglement AV (2021) premiered at MUTEK as an audiovisual performance. The project evolved with Entanglement XR (2022) and is part of the MUTEK Immersive Collection, and Entanglement Dôme with film (2023) at the Société des arts technologiques (SAT), exploring immersive environments where quantum logic drives perception. Her latest project, Lueurs Quantiques, an audiovisual performance created with Markus Heckmann and inspired by antimatter, premiered at MUTEK Montréal (2025), where it was praised for its rare fusion of scientific rigour and sensory emotion. The work explores quantum annihilation through sound, visuals, light, and lasers, offering an immersive experience acclaimed for its sonic precision, visual coherence, and poetic depth. She continued this exploration with The fluctuation of emptiness, a performance resulting from a year-long residency at the Quantum Institute of the Université de Sherbrooke, drawing on Cooper pair architectures and vacuum quantum states. Through these works, France Jobin seeks to translate the invisible phenomena of quantum physics into perceptual experiences where sound, light, and space become instruments for perceiving the subatomic world.

Céline Dessberg

France, FR / Mongolia, MN

Céline Dessberg is a singer, songwriter, and harpist of mixed French and Mongolian heritage. She grew up between two distinct worlds, one shaped by the modern western lifestyle of France, the other by the ancient traditions of Buddhism and the pastoral customs of Mongolia. This unique blend shaped her musical style, which draws from a wide array of influences, including jazz legends like Chet Baker, the eclectic sounds of David Byrne, and the traditional melodies of the Mongolian steppes. Céline's sound is defined by her powerful, emotive voice and the haunting tones of her yatga, a traditional Mongolian harp she plays alongside guitar and piano. This combination creates a sound that is both contemporary and timeless, merging the rich cultural heritage of Mongolia with modern indie and pop sensibilities.

Gyuchul Moon

Berlin, DE

Gyuchul Moon is a Sound researcher / New Media artist who works at the interface between Science, Music, and Media art. His project seeks to evoke the imagination of sounds intertwined with humans and non-humans, objects and organisms, natural and artificial, and implemented with contemporary technology. His work also contemplates how the status between equilibrium and instability, the non-linear dynamics found in Nature, can be transmuted into musical expressions. He delves into the physical embodiment of sounds based on questions about sound, technology, and system theory and their entanglement. He pushes the boundaries of sound installation and musical form by bridging music and sound with alternative technological perspectives underlying generative forms that use self regulation, self-organizing principles, and AI. He draws upon the possibility of organic forms of compositions. He presented his composition / audiovisual works at ZKM (Karlsruhe, DE), Sonic Acts Festival (Amsterdam, NL), MUTEK (Japan + Mexico), MUTEK (Montreal virtual expo, CA), SXSW (Austin, US), WeSA (Seoul, KR), PRECTXE (Bucheon, KR), and his works selected conferences NIME (2024, Utrecht), AIMC (2023, Brighton). He presented his works in exhibitions at the Sejong Center (Seoul, KR) and Art Center Nabi (Seoul, KR). And he was selected for residency programs at Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin, DE), ZKM (Karlsruhe, DE) and EMS (Elektronmusikstudion, Stockholm, SE).

Kat Austen

Berlin, DE

Kat Austen's creates work that interrogates human connection to landscapes, highlighting the empathy and paradox at the heart of our species' relationships to the non-human and more-than-human. Austen's work departs from site-specific research, in which she employs deep listening and embodied techniques to gain a visceral understanding of place. This experience is transported into her work through composition, visuals, sculpture and movement. Austen's prize-winning work has exhibited at Venice Biennale, Changwon Sculpture Biennale, Jeju Museum of Art, V&A Museum, Phillips Auction House, Bonhams Art Gallery, The Polar Museum, Contemporary Museum, Wrocław, Prater Galerie, LABoral, Bozar Centre for Fine Arts, Belgium among others, and her work is held internationally in public and private collections.

Song Youngnam

Seoul, KR

Song Youngnam is a Seoul-based sound artist and composer known for his sophisticated blending of cinematic sound design and experimental composition. Since 2017, he has established a unique practice centered on "Architectural Narrative," treating sound as a spatial structure that defines the identity of a brand or a project. His expertise in high-end sonic storytelling has led to numerous collaborations with global fashion houses and industry leaders, including MIU MIU, Dior, Adidas, Toss, and AMOMENTO. He has also specialized in sound direction for concept music and teaser films of major K-Pop artists such as Stray Kids and Red Velvet, where he excels at translating complex visual narratives into immersive auditory atmospheres. Beyond his commercial success, he operates the [Off-Earth Pirate Radio Station] project—an artistic manifestation of Digital Hauntology. In this conceptual realm, Song hijacks signals from specific global coordinates to reconstruct imaginary architectural narratives, blending the ghosts of digital sound with speculative spaces. This dual identity as both a meticulous commercial director and a boundary-pushing sound architect allows him to deliver soundscapes that are not only technically flawless but conceptually profound.

Concepcion Huerta

Mexico, MX

Concepcion Huerta is a multidisciplinary artist with a strong background in audiovisual media and a deep focus on the sound spectrum. Her work is developed in different practices such as: sound design, installations, spatialized concerts, speculative narratives and immersive experiences. Her approach to sound begins by reflecting on the relationship between silence-noise, political space, and the sound agent as a means of enunciation. She also investigates resonance, acoustic space and the physical and psychological impact of sound in relation to the listener. Her sound exploration is through recordings of everyday objects (foleys) and instruments such as synthesizers, which when played and manipulated with tape recorders and processed tapes, create atmospheres based on elements of ambient and noise. She creates sound narratives, which rather than being inserted into a specific musical genre, are closer to the construction of an imagined story. Incorporating the study of synthesis, electricity, voltage, formats and materiality as part of their approach to sound. Exploring it from the most elemental level and how it can be translated by creating technological bridges between analogue and digital processes. Member of the experimental ensemble Amor Muere with Gibrana Cervantes, Camille Mandoki and Mabe Fratti, with whom he has collaborated in several publications. Collaborating in sound with diverse artists such as: Fernado Vigueras, CNDSD, Resonancia, Reick Reed, Leslie Garcia, Daniela Huerta, Hara Alonso, among others.
