Tz An Tsai (Ann Tsai) is a composer and pianist born and raised in Taiwan, graduated with a master's degree in piano performance from Zürich University of the Arts, currently based in Berlin. Drawing inspiration from a variety of musical styles, he blends his classical music background with contemporary art forms. Passionate about rediscovering the possibilities of instruments, he particularly focuses on integrating sound elements, synthesizer sounds, and digital processes through electronic enhancement. In his compositions, he strives to create sonic narratives and explore diverse timbral possibilities, whether these sounds come from a single musical motive or recorded sources.

Sven Lütgen is musician, audiodesigner, artist and lecturer for sound/intermedia at the Muthesius Academy of Art in Kiel, Germany.

He studied fine arts at the Düsseldorf Art Academy (diploma and master student of Alfonso Hüppi), postgraduate studies in media art at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design, doctoral studies in media sciences at the Muthesius University of Art in Kiel with a focus on sound/space/perception.

In addition to various music and sound projects he is part of the Electronica duo „munit” with Dietrich Foth (known from Kammerflimmer Kollektief) with numerous appearances and publications (e.g. Mute, Too Pure, shitkatapult).
