NNJA RIOT
https://nnjariot.weebly.com/
Electronic song compositions by artist and composer Lisa McKendrick. Her music includes elements of industrial, the ethereal, ambient and has a definitive noise presence where she incorporates noise instruments she's created or modified. Her music is a journey into the potential of electronic beats, musical instruments, DIY noise synths, modular synthesis, auditory fragments, and vocals. On stage she leans towards art as a ritual, employing custom-made headdresses and has visuals exploring ritual and land art. Her approach to making live music is to allow the music to take on a new life for each performance, while maintaining a framework to create from.


VÍZ
https://linktr.ee/vizvizviz
is the avant-garde solo project of Hungarian Transylvanian multidisciplinary artist Réka Csiszér, in which she delves into the depths of Eastern European melancholy, blending post-industrial textures, ghostly glossolalia, the darker shades of Hungarian folk, and audiovisual noir. Csiszér’s work is profoundly cinematic — Lynchian disorientation in time and space emerges from the very first sonic clues. The compositions of Mihály Vig for Béla Tarr’s films, Eastern European folk horror, and noir aesthetics are key references to unlocking the sealed universe of Csiszér.

On her latest record 'Danse des Larmes', that was recently released via Athens based cult label Heat Crimes and selected as Boomkat's Album of the week; dense electroacoustic textures melt into gothic vocal lines, forming a non-existent Giallo soundtrack. VÍZ’s live act has been described as eerie and captivating—oscillating between avant-garde sci-fi opera and ritualistic incantations, where Csiszér’s haunting vocal performance immediately calls to mind shadow-pop icons like Diamanda Galás, Julie Cruise, and Lisa Gerrard. The experience is visceral — one you can breathe, touch, and lose yourself in completely.

AGATE MAX

France-born, London-based violinist and violist known for her electroacoustic compositions, experimental music, and sound design for film, theatre, and contemporary dance. Her music, often characterised by intricate textures and energetic, panoramic compositions, explores themes of psychological "shadow work" and connects with inner worlds beyond words.
Her music blends classical, minimalism, noise, traditional music, and electroacoustic techniques, with a focus on textures, sound dynamics, and the interplay between acoustic and electronic elements.
Her work often explores psychological themes, connecting with the unconscious and providing glimpses into deeper realities, as seen in her composition "Shadoww".
