Spanish, born in 1975, Francisco Meirino is active since 1994 (as phroq until 2009) in experimental music and live performance. 

His music explores the tension between programmable material and the potential for its failure, he is primarily interested in the idea of recording what is not supposed to be : gear failures, the death of PA systems, magnetic fields and electro-static noises and in how he can use them and hear them radically out of context. 
Francisco Meirino's music is fascinating by its physical intensity and detail precision. 
He mainly works with the computer, modular synthesizer, reel-to-reel tape recorders, magnetic fields detectors, piezo tranducers, field recorders and various home-made electronics. ﻿​

Lionel Marchetti, né le 17 septembre 1967, est un compositeur français de musique concrète, également improvisateur (électronique, systèmes analogiques et numériques divers avec haut-parleurs modifiés…) ainsi que plasticien artiste sonore et poète écrivain.

Pour définir sa musique, tant composée que improvisée, où la dimension corporelle tient une place importante (Lionel Marchetti a dansé avec la compagnie universitaire Reylanse entre 1986 et 1991), il est possible de reprendre l'adage de l'écrivain Kenneth White : « Concret ou abstrait ? J'aime l'abstrait où subsiste un souvenir de substance, le concret qui s'affine aux frontières du vide. »

Denis Rollet is an artist who wonders about the sound phenomenas. His live set-ups are made of often home-made electronics and hi-fi standard hardware. They are the vectors of his ability to amplify the auditory phenomenas and to reduce them to the source of sound : vibration in the air. His live performances are complex, raw and intense, but always focused on the listening.
