Andrea Borghi(born in 1974) art teacher, sound artist and electroacoustic composer based in Pietrasanta, Lucca (Tuscany, Italy).

PareiDoliΛ  is a duo investigating the extremes of presence and absence: sonifying phenomenon which normally lie beyond the human threshold of perception, reconfiguring the embodiment of instrument and performer in space,  transmitting and receiving spectral voices. 

PareiDoliA is Marta Zapparoli and Liz Allbee, two Berlin based experimental musicians. Marta works with self-built antennas, world wide band receivers and detectors, while Liz works with her self-designed quadraphonic trumpet and tine-wave spatializations. Together the two perform a long-form multi-channel composition of haunting intensity.

Gerard Lebik is a composer/improviser, saxophonist, sound artist, and curator active in experimental music and sound art—founder of the Sanatorium of Sound Festival and the Sokołowsko Music Lab. Lebik explores heterogeneous sound sources and music genres such as electro-acoustic composition/improvisation, live electronics, and noise, focusing on themes like the perception and propagation of sound waves, time disorder, psychoacoustics, and sound’s relationship with architecture and urban contexts. His outputs—performances, installations, and sound interventions—are based on sine waves, white noise, feedback, ambisonics, and multi-channel sound. He graduated from the Academy of Music in Wrocław.

Lebik has performed at festivals and venues, including TPAM (Yokohama, JP), Rewire (The Hague, NL), CTM (Berlin, DE), Fiber Festival (Amsterdam, NL), TodaysArt Festival (The Hague, NL), MONOM (Berlin, DE), Biennale (Zagreb, HU), Tokyo Jazz (Tokyo, JP), Umbrella (Chicago, US), Experimental Intermedia (New York, US), Biennale Wro (Wrocław, PL), SuperDeluxe (Tokyo, JP), and Fylkingen (Stockholm, SE).

He has collaborated with numerous artists, including Keith Rowe, Phil Minton, Ryoko Akama, Burkhard Beins, Paul Lovens, David Maranha, Peter Rehberg, Jérôme Noetinger, Zbigniew Karkowski, Kasper T. Toeplitz, Noid, Lucio Capece, Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Aleksandra Słyż, Judith Hamann, and many others

PXPRD is the chemical combination between Marta Zapparoli & Martin Kuentz

The project is based on the use of self-built circuits combined with low emv field, natural radio, radio, wideband and wireless communication signals of all kinds which can be picked up with different kinds of devices like ultrasound, vlf natural radio or wideband receivers.
With all of this material the auspicious new duo is creating a boundaryless sonic palette from electroacoustic improvisation towards dense noise.

Musica Dispersa is an international experimental network in the fields of art, music and activism through radio shows, record label, cassette editions and experimental events _ 
Women in Experimental is also a project by Musica Dispersa [now is Sympoietic Sound network]

GiZap aka Giuseppe Zapparoli was a prolific self-taught musician, song writer, composer, a silent poet, a great father, adventurer, lover of the sea and his boat, nature, interested in music, politics, sport, literature, science, history, cosmos, stars, art, geography, science-fiction, books.....many books for all his life . 
He was passionate about music with his first theoretical concepts of music in the early age of 12. 
From 1960 he started to play guitar with the teacher: Maestro Bignotto in Verona.
He performed with the group "Sorci Verdi" in his home town Isola della Scala in the province of Verona until 1968 , then comes the military service. 
Between 1970-1990 He wrote his own songs , lyrics and arrangements for guitar.
After a long break, He restarted with music again, forming the group of "Electric Spiders" in Erbè (VR) where he lived with his family. 
With his Pop-Rok Band , he was playing guitar, writing all the arrangements for the instruments and singing, until his death in 2015.
The Band was performing every year  in a festival at BOVO Theater in Isola della Scala .
He always had a dream: to compose his own music, and carried it from 2008 onwards (at sixty years of age being retired) as self-taught amateur, genre New Age and very personal contemporary stile, writing it and realizing it  with a midi - software to write the music and another one to orchestrate it with various instruments in the score. His dream was to listen one day  his own compositions for orchestra performed by a group with real instruments. This dream, was in part realized by his daughter Marta.
Giuseppe in 2015 at the age of 66 was hit by an aggressive form of cancer that did not give him a chance to survive. One week before he died, in December 2015,  his daughter Marta organized a group of 10 professional musicians from Berlin to record in a short time of one day recordings, three of his compositions with real instruments.
Giuseppe could at least in his last days of life to listen and enjoy three of the compositions he composed, played by a real orchestra !
 The promise made by Marta to her father was to move the project forward and to play with real instruments the rest of the remaining 48 compositions, and to spread  his music as much she could!
From January 2017 is out a memorial CDr with 19 selected compositions from Giuseppe's music archive.
"His music will keep Him alive forever in my hearts and memories. And for those who did not know his music before, has the chance to  listen to it now!
I promised to Him to make known his music as much I can, and as I will find money support to make it happen, step by step the project will go forward!
This is the minimum at least I can do for one of the most important person  as a father an musician which  has deeply marked my life in many ways  !
**Dad,  thanks for being my inspiration and my guide in all these years! Everything you have given to me, it is a treasure which I will keep with me forever and use it until I’m on this planet! **M

With great Admiration and Affection,
Marta
