Erwan Keravec
Erwan Keravec is a highland bagpiper, composer and improviser. In seeking out the more unusual sounds, and ways of playing and listening to his instrument, far from its original cultural setting, he is exploring improvised music, free and ‘noise’ jazz, and establishing a repertoire of contemporary music for solo pipes, trio with solo voice and with choir. With an interest in movement and in settings associated with reinvention, he also writes, plays and improvises for dance.
Midori Hirano (feat. Brueder Selke)
Midori Hirano is a Berlin-based Japanese musician, composer, and sound artist originally from Kyoto. With roots in classical piano - an instrument she began studying in early childhood and later pursued at university - her work inhabits the liminal space between structure and abstraction, the acoustic and the electronic.
Her solo albums on labels including Sonic Pieces, Daisart and Dauw have established her distinctive voice, while her alias MimiCof explores more rhythmic and experimental territories. Over time, these approaches have converged into a unified artistic language under her own name. Her work has been presented at venues and festivals including King’s Place, Radialsystem, Silent Green, Boiler Room Berlin, Bozar Brussels, CTM Festival, L.E.V. Festival, Wonderfruit Festival, and the International Film Festival Rotterdam.
She has also collaborated with artists such as Hprizm (Anti Pop Consortium), Ilpo Väisänen (Pan Sonic), CoH, Atsuko Hatano, Brueder Selke, and the female collective Monika Werkstatt led by Gudrun Gut. Her collaboration album with Brueder Selke "Split Scale", as well as her latest solo album „OTONOMA", were both released on Thrill Jockey Records.
