LEONI LEONI
Swiss self-described ‘sound maker’ Leoni Leoni is a quintessential lullaby sculptor. Between 2019 and 2021, she has released four tapes which have made her a leading figure in the Bern underground scene (all now released on vinyl by Bongo Joe Records). Although each song is self-written, self-recorded, and self-produced, Leoni Leoni’s sweet and strange music is never barren; her voice is beautifully complemented by the twinkling keys and the occasional throbbing drum machine - and, with each new tape, there is new ambience for forever calm.

CHARLES DUBOIS
Charles Dubois is a percussionist, performer, and visual artist based in Angers, France.
In his solo work and within various groups, he explores paradoxical sound territories—balancing organic textures and repetitive motifs, mechanical movements and raw sonic matter. His practice of acoustic, all-terrain percussion brings together a collection of found, prepared, and handmade objects, interacting physically and sonically with the spaces they inhabit.

LAMINA
My work aims to create immersive environments at the intersection of sound, sculpture, and performance. I design hybrid installations that act on the perceptions of audiences, bringing the sensory and the political into dialogue. It is a constant back-and-forth between theoretical research and material experimentation. My practice is rooted in an ecofeminist approach that questions the relationships between body, mat- ter, memory, and ecology, and it is anchored in a hydrofeminist reflection: thinking with water, like water, through its circulations, its memories, and its powers of care and connection. Sound and materials become catalysts for reimagining our relations to the living world, to the elements, and to our own bodies.
I draw inspiration from scientific, physiological, and psychological phenomena, which I either divert or highlight to create sonic environments capable of activating a form of sensitive listening. By combining organic, technological, and narrative elements, I seek to bring forth immersive landscapes, perceptual ecosystems where interconnected, affective, and political relationships between humans and non-humans take shape.
Each sculpture or object is conceived for its acoustic quality and its physical presence in space. This ma- teriality allows me to explore the link between exhibition space, audience movement, and tactile sensation.
My installations always adapt to the space in which they are presented, working with its parameters: acous- tics, sound spatialization, temperature, light, circulation. Conceived as sensory relays, my sculptures invite audiences to listen differently: with the whole body, in a more fluid and porous relation.
