Wytze Minne de Swart is a saxophone player and composer of electronic music mainly for theatre. In his work he likes to use a foremost ‘sonic approach’ to music. In which the timbres and textures are the starting point of his compositions and improvisations.

Ivo Bol creates his own sound world using found sounds: the hum of a refrigerator, a forgotten cassette tape, the crackle of a vinyl record before the music begins. During performances he manipulates these sounds using plants, radios and brainwaves. Under the name Vinkepeezer, Bol composes music for dance and theatre productions, filmmakers and visual artists in the Netherlands and abroad.

Ivo Bol

Jasna Veličković is a Belgrade-born composer and performer based in Amsterdam. Her artistic output has been developed through an interaction between a life-long fascination with sound and an inclination toward experimentation. Her work investigates how magnetic phenomena can become compositional systems, with a particular focus on magnetism as both sonic material and compositional method.
