Dirar Kalash's work spans a wide range of musical and sonic practices within a variety of instrumental, compositional and improvisational contexts. He is mostly known for his politically driven soundscape / electro-acoustic project The Sonic Front, and the compositions we can't breathe (for eric garner, george floyd, and frantz fanon) and by any means necessary (for Malcolm X).
Momoko Gill is a London-based composer, producer, drummer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist whose work moves fluidly between jazz, soul, electronic production, and experimental ambient textures. Raised in Japan in a family of musicians and music lovers, Gill took up drums and percussion to make herself heard amidst a pianist uncle, a guitarist brother, and a singer mother , before relocating to London where she studied anthropology and became embedded in the city’s vital experimental music community.
A self-taught drummer, producer, songwriter, and vocalist, she has brought her unique touch to collaborations with Matthew Herbert, Coby Sey, Tirzah, and Nadeem Din-Gabisi. Years of extensive touring as a drummer, keyboardist, and vocalist have honed her distinctive compositional and production instincts.
