Rojin Sharafi, a Tehran-born, Vienna-based sound artist, performer, and composer, fuses raw and abstract emotions with electronic elements that emulate acoustic sounds. Her distinctive musical language intertwines acoustic elements, replicating electronic textures and vice versa, resulting in a synthesis of resilient yet vulnerable and honest sonic expressions.
Using a mix of analog, acoustic, and augmented instruments, alongside custom-designed digital tools, Sharafi gained recognition for her debut album, "Urns Waiting to be Fed," described as “one of [2019’s] most ecstatic and fiercely original hours of music” by The Quietus. Following this success, she released "Zangaar" in 2020 and "Kariz" in 2021. In 2023, Sharafi, together with her band members from HUUUM, published their debut album—an exploration of folk futurism.

🌿 ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ꜱᴏɴɪᴄ ᴀɢᴇɴᴄʏ

Spurred on by the acuteness of current global events, we are raising our voices in solidarity with the oppressed, the tortured, the silenced, and the unheard. While humanity is at stake, and our values are on trial, in moments of despair, rage and endless grief, acts of solidarity are needed more than ever. The events that shake Palestine and Israel are resulting in an ever-tighter spiral of violence and desperation. They are a horrific wake-up call that brutally brings the precarious situation on our planet to the fore. The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, and Israel’s collective punishment of Palestinian civilians are intolerable. On top of that, the military actions threaten the lives of the remaining hostages in the Gaza-Strip, and even more innocent people in Gaza.


Listening is not neutral.
Listening shapes the reality we live in.
Listening is shaped by ethics and politics and leads back to it.
Listening is directly linked to memory and identity.
Listening is as important as speaking.
Listing is an active act.

Turntables, high-velocity surrealism, and killer nails – welcome to the world of Mariam Rezaei. Her groundbreaking compositions and improvisations for turntables confound listeners across extensive workouts that evolve into bafflingly mangled inversions, ripping up boundaries between collage, noise, and jazz. The multi-award winning noise savant and turntablist is a key figure in the Newcastle & Gateshead experimental scene in North East England, previously serving as artistic director of TUSK festival, and recently gracing the cover of The Wire with kindred mixmaster spirits, Maria Chávez and Victoria Shen.

AGF aka Antye Greie-Ripatti a sound artist and electronic music producer. Her work inhabits an augmented space where pounding {Berlin} experimental after-techno, spoken word, abstract video art, feminism and radical ecology create a self-sustaining environment. Originally from East Germany, she started to develop a DIY approach early on, while also using her voice to fight against oppression by supporting marginalized communities and calling out injustice, most recently through female:pressure, a support community and promotional platform for female-identified electronic musicians. Currently based in Northern Finland, Antye founded the local arts organization Hai Art in Hailuoto. Since its inception in 2011, Hai Art has been involved in numerous sound-related projects, focusing on working with children. Antye acts as its director, curator and workshop instructor. Active since the early 90’s, she has collaborated with strong names in electronic music such as French pioneer Eliane Radigue, German legends Gudrun Gut and Ellen Allien, British avantgardist Kaffe Matthews, Finnish IDM treasure Vladislav Delay and classical composer Craig Armstrong.

We stand in global solidarity with the part of our societies that has no part.
We are raising our voice for those who are silenced, unheard and rendered invisible – dehumanised.
We are advocating for peace, justice, equality, and freedom for every human being on this earth.
We protest collectively against oppressive systems and systems based on exploitation, authoritarian regimes, fascist ideologies, and reactionary governments everywhere on this planet.

SSIN is centered around a Max/MSP patch of feedback oscillators (originally based on the patch "Italian Network" by Amir Bolzman), a modular system, and an Elektron Machinedrum. The album explores off-kilter rhythms and modes, feedback patching, spectral and dynamic processing, and reverberation to create synthetic acoustic-like, lively timbres, voices, and spaces.

On tracks 1 and 6, I played electric guitar and effect pedals for the melodic/harmonic parts. Track 2 features vocals and granular processing by Daniella Ljungsberg. Track 4 was inspired by Twin Peaks Season 3. Track 5 is named [kolyma.mix] after Varlam Shalamov's Kolyma Tales, in dedication to his memory and the depths of his stories of the gulags. - amit dagim
