Italian composer, born in Bergamo in 1962. Stefano Gervasoni began studying composition in 1980 on the advice of Luigi Nono: this encounter, as well as others with Brian Ferneyhough, Peter Eötvös and Helmut Lachenmann, turned out to be decisive for his career. After attending the Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi in Milan, Stefano Gervasoni studied with  György Ligeti in Hungary in 1990, and then, in 1992, he attended the IRCAM Course in Composition and in Computer Music in Paris. The first three years in France launched Gervasoni's international career that eventually led him to be artist-in-residence at Villa Medici in Rome for the biennium1995-1996.
With commissions from prestigious institutions such the WDR, the SWR, the Orchestra Nazionale della RAI, the Münchner Kammerorchester, the Festival d'Automne in Paris, Radio France, IRCAM, the Casa da Musica in Porto, the Festival Archipel in Geneva, the Divertimento Ensemble in Milan, the Ensemble Intercontemporain, the Ensemble Modern, the Ensemble Contrechamps in Geneva, the Maerzmusik festival in Berlin, the Ars Musica Bruxelles, the Festival Musica in Strasbourg, the French Ministry of Culture, Milan Teatro alla Scala and Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Stefano Gervasoni has established himself as one of the most important Italian composers of his generation. His catalogue – which includes chamber and vocal music, concertos, works for orchestra, for ensemble and an opera (Limbus-Limbo), commissioned for the 50th anniversary of the Percussions de Strasbourg (2012) – was first published by Ricordi, from 1987, and then, from 2000, by Suvini Zerboni.
A monographic CD entitled Antiterra, which features the pieces An, Animato, Antiterra, Least Bee, Godspell, and Epicadenza, released in 2008 by Aeon, bears witness to «a sonic world of great wealth, subtlety, refinement, expressive but also organic, that immediately captures one’s attention» (Philippe Albèra). Other monographic recording collections include the Harmonia Mundi CD in the series Musique Française d'Aujourd'hui (Ensemble Contrechamps), the Stradivarius CD by Divertimento Ensemble and the CD Dir-in dir released in 2014 by Winter & Winter (Académie Charles Cros price and Diapason d'or in France). A recent CD by Winter & WInter, released in 2016, entitled Le pré includes the three books of a piano cycle.
Winner of numerous prizes, including the recent Premio della Critica Musicale "Franco Abbiati" (2010), his work has allowed him to be a grant-holder at the Fondation des Treilles in Paris (1994) and at the DAAD in Berlin (2006) and composer-in-residence at the Domaine de Kerguéhennec during the period 2008-2010. He has also been invited to teach at the Darmstadt Ferienkurse, on the courses organised by the Fondation Royaumont (Paris), at Toho University in Tokyo, at the Festival International di Campos do Jordão in Brazil, at the Conservatory in Shanghai, at Columbia University (New York), at Harvard University (Boston) and at Takefu International Music Festival. He has been composer-in-residence at Lausanne Conservatoire (2005) and at Yellow Barn Summer Academy (Vermont, 2016). Moreover, he has been visiting professor at ESMUC in Barcelona for the 2012-13 academic year.
Since 2006 Stefano Gervasoni has held a regular teaching post as professor of composition at the prestigious Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse in Paris.
The musicologist Philippe Albèra wrote a substantial book on Stefano Gervasoni's work, Stefano Gervasoni. Le parti pris des sons, published in 2015 by Editions Contrechamps (Geneva).

Isaac Roth Blumfield is a composer from Saint Paul, Minnesota, currently based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He writes experimental music for acoustic and electronic instruments which explores resonance, materiality, and memory through expanded sonic approaches towards instruments and objects. His music looks for the strange spaces between subjective and unconscious experience, exploring uncanny places between beauty, pain, and strangeness.
His music has been influenced through  through work with performers such as ensemble sonic space basel alumni, Schallfeld Ensemble, violinists Austin Wulliman and Chris Otto, line upon line percussion trio, Ensemble Modern, Barcelona Modern Ensemble, guitarist Francesco Palmieri and Jamie Monck, and Quartetto Maurice at programs such as the Bludenzer Tage zeitgemäßer Musik, the Banff Centre for Creativity, Yellow Barn Young Artists Program, New Music on the Point, Valencia International Performance Academy, Ticino Musica Festival and Freie Universität Berlin im Sommer.  
His music has been broadcast on Swiss Public Radio and supported by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation, Fondation Nicati - De Luze, and the Hirschmann Stiftung. He graduated with his Bachelor's degree in composition at New England Conservatory in Boston and a Master's degree in composition at the Hochschule für Musik FHNW in Basel, Switzerland and is currently pursuing post graduate studies at the Universität für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Vienna. His primary teachers have included Stratis Minakakis, Timothy McCormack, Caspar Johannes Walter, Svetlana Maras, and Clara Iannotta. He is currently a PhD candidate at Harvard University, studying with Chaya Czernowin and Hans Tutschku.

Dmitry Burtsev (b. 1992) is a composer, sound artist, and improviser.
His artistic research unfolds between two complementary poles. The first is personal, exploring memory and forgetting, subjective topographies of place, and the oscillation between speech and silence. The second pole is collective, focused on culture and language, critically rethinking traditions and their clichés. At the intersection of these areas, Burtsev develops a distinctive approach to music. Composing becomes both a form of self-expression and an encounter with the material as the "other."

Dmitry’s music consistently highlights the social aspect of sound. For him, composition is not only the creation of autonomous works, but also a question: How can sound express the pressing issues of society? This approach has resulted in projects in the fields of chamber music, sound art, performative works, and theatre.

Dmitry graduated from the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory in 2017, where he studied composition under Vladimir Tarnopolsky. Since then, he has worked as an assistant to composer Sergej Newski, gaining valuable professional experience. At the same time, he was active as an accordionist in Moscow’s free improvisation scene, performing at experimental festivals such as RichterFest and Noise and Fury.

The environments in which Burtsev lived have played a central role in his music. For over a decade, he resided on the grounds of a former forestry estate outside Moscow, moving between the urban soundscape and the forest. This duality sharpened his reflection on how environments shape perception, leading to several works with field recordings. Among them are the performative composition “Symphony for Urbanites” (Moscow Urban Forum, 2019) and the performance “Personal Experience” (Sidur Museum, 2019). In the latter, Burtsev improvised with his own archival recordings in a Max/MSP patch.

From 2018, he collaborated with politically engaged theatre, composing for works addressing collective trauma, such as “Schitalka” (on the Georgian-Abkhaz War of 1991, longlisted for the Golden Mask Award) and “Govorit Moskva” (on Stalinist terror, premiered in 2022).

Following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Burtsev emigrated to Azerbaijan, where he became active in the Baku Contemporary Music Society and engaged with local traditions. In 2024, he began the master’s program at the Robert Schumann Hochschule Düsseldorf under José María Sánchez-Verdú.

His music has been performed by ensembles such as Studio for New Music, MCME, and Kymatic, and by soloists including Sergey Tchirkov, Natalia Pshenichnikova, Pavlos Antoniadis, and Leonard Dering. It has been featured at festivals such as Another Space, Territory, Moscow Forum, ISCM PAN Music Festival in Seoul, ReMusik, Baku Contemporary Music Days, and Voices Berlin. He has received numerous awards and scholarships, including the Open Space Laboratory (2017, Grand Prix), Russian Music 2.0 (2020, laureate), and the DAAD Scholarship (2025).

The music of Iranian composer/performer, Idin Samimi Mofakham (*1982) is deeply based on the traditional and regional music of his home country. Since 2015, He develops his own musical language based on the medieval Persian tuning systems, just intonation and Psychoacoustics.

Since 2019, Idin holds a PhD in Artistic Research position at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo (Norway), pursuing his research on Persian medieval tuning systems and its creative usage in contemporary composition.
