Zuzanna Całka & Vizuza
Zuzanna Całka is polish pianist and composer, classically trained. Her musical language is considered to be a development of classical aesthetics combining modern techniques derived from her interest in film and electronic music. She makes music by manipulating and multi-tracking sounds from piano and synthesizers.
Her latest project crosses the boundaries of classical music, combining tradition with experiment and psychedelic raptures. Minimalist sketches contrast with complex structures, creating intriguing, and sometimes even hallucinatory, trance-like melodies. A major role in the process is improvisation which emerges at each show in a different way.
Vizuza is a 3D visual artist and motion designer based in Poland, her work is inspired by the magical and tranquil side of reality. She’s been developing a unique way of telling stories through her designs, collaborating with multiple artists, brands and in festivals. Astonishing and mysterious representations of reality, microcosms and visions from her imagination are created for this performance on Sanctum of Sound.
Dima Ustinov
Dima Ustinov is a composer, improviser, and electronic musician. He writes and performs music that can be described as ambient / neoclassical / minimalist. He works with ‘augmented piano’- a combination of piano, complex FX chains and electronic instruments that can create lush and textural soundscapes. His settings also work as a part of big light installations. His personal music practice and research lies at the intersection of musical performance, meditative practices, and sound healing.
Star Works, Ka & Mitotili
Presenting the performance Sound, Spirit & Memory.
Three artists meet in resonance, each bringing their own frequency into the field.
Star Works traces the unseen through spatial sound and electronic textures, shaping the atmosphere of the collaboration. Kā bridges the material and the etheric, folding time into tone through gong experimentation and organismic synthesis. Mitotili offers rhythm as remembrance through channeling the ancestral spirit of rattles & drumming as a portal into trance and healing.
An ensamble put together by Star Works, a transmission ritual for deep listening, where spirit, sound, and memory spiral inward, then beyond.
Maya Wada
Maya Wada celebrates the power of intuition with her Space Ambient Music. In her world, atmosphere and beat, vibration and harmony are different manifestations of one great unity in which lies the essence of all things. Through sound, Maya and her audience come closer and closer to it.
Music Ashram Sound Air
Music Ashram Sound Air is a project by Music Ashram, an invitation to take a flight within the Sound Air space to explore and experience a dreamy, hypnotic, ecstatic journey into infinitive sound.
The Sound Air crew is composed of an eclectic team of transcendental and sonic musicians with extensive experience on immersive soundscapes. Percussive laboratories, gongs, electronic fields, guitars and a whole curation of instruments will be part of the Music Ashram Sound Aircraft for this Sanctum of Sound edition.
