Elisabeth Klinck is a contemporary violinist, composer and performer based in Brussels, Belgium. With a background in electroacoustic composition and theatre she navigates through emotional landscapes using intimate sound textures and atmospheric tones. She studied at the Lemmensinstuut, The Royal Conservatory of Brussels and at Academy for Music & Drama in Gothenburg, where she acquired a masters in Orchestral Performance.
Klinck’s work can be an overwhelming force, but fragile at the same time. Her debut album Picture a Frame has been released on Hallow Ground (Kali Malone, FujiIIIIIIIIIIta,...) and is a beautiful collage that functions as a sonic diary for the time she spent in the Spanish Pyrenees with longtime collaborator Oscar Claus.
As a performer of composed and improvised music she often collaborates with different artists and organisations. This sense of community is as important in her music as it is in her day-to-day life. Previous collaborations include: Miet Warlop (One Song), Ben Bertrand, Lieselot Siddiki, Jarne Van Loon, OffOff Film, Kopergieterij, Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe, Valgeir Sigurdsson and Nils Vermeulen and many more.
Barbie Mukoda's fantastical voyage to improvisation has pushed her off of her Classical music island, and across the turbulent waters of Development and Discovery to the vast expanse of the Experimental horizons.Experimenting with silence and lyrical lines across her three instruments, Piccolo Flute, Classical Flute and Alto Flute, she utilises little to no vibrato and a clear tone as an artistic choice in this realm.
Over the recent years, Barbie has played with BBC Elstree Concert Band, Lo-Fi, The London Video Game Orchestra, Orchestra New and Queen Charlotte’s Global Orchestra, recording at Abbey Road Studios and BBC Maida Vale Studios and broadcast over Resonance FM as a member of AMM All-Stars.
Today, Barbie’s World consists of these once disparate continents as a now great musical Pangaea, joined by Passion, Courage and Imagination, eyes shining bright to the new possibilities and opportunities that await her.
Elien De Schryver is a Belgian musician and violinist based in Cambridge. With a keen interest in exploring music and sound on the violin, particularly through improvisation, her work spans various genres, including improvised music for performances and installations. Elien is also an HCPC-registered music therapist and an associate lecturer in the Music Therapy training programme at ARU. More on https://linktr.ee/eliendeschryver
