Jana Irmert is a sound artist who works across spatial composition, film soundtracks and live performance, often exploring the borderline between musical sound and noise through extensive experimentation with field recordings. Examining temporality and impermanence in times of ecological crisis, she creates atmospheric audiovisual and sonic spaces ‘that work with dis/harmony in such a way as to mirror our imperfect world at the moment’ (Toneshift). Her music has been released on Fabrique Records, Important Records and Longform Editions. Jana has contributed sound design and music for feature films, documentaries, VR experiences and video installations and has directed several experimental short films. She won the German Documentary Film Music Award in 2019 and has been nominated for an Icelandic Edda Award in 2021 for her sound design on Jóhann Jóhannsson’s film “Last and First Men”.

Delphine Dora is a French musician, composer and improviser. Working mainly with keyboard instruments, her music has been enriched in recent years by the addition of field recordings to her compositions. The voice is also one of her favourite instruments, at times drawing on the language of poets, at other times on an imaginary language, a language freed of all signifiers, a voice that is fragile and embodied, archaic, mystical and free, but also plural and mutant voices that are embodied in her. On stage, she uses instruments such as the piano, organ or keyboards, and her voice, loops, various effects and mysterious sounds. Her performances are usually improvised, using acoustic or electronic instrumentation, depending on the context.
Recent collaborations on recordings/live include : Sophie Cooper, Mocke, Michel Henritzi, Andrew Chalk, Anaïs Tuerlincks, Aby Vulliamy, Sylvia Hallett, Valentina Magaletti, Roxane Metayer....
Her iconoclastic music can be read as a work of personal cartography, based on an intuitive approach to composition and nourished by numerous approaches. For more than 15 years, she has been developing an intimate and plural musical universe, in perpetual metamorphosis, situated at the crossroads of different musical genres (folk music, minimalist music, improvised music, electroacoustic music, etc.) and languages (English, French, German, imaginary languages, etc.). A prolific musician, she has taken part in more than twenty recordings (solo and collaborations) in a variety of aesthetics on numerous French and foreign labels. She is also the founder of the Wild Silence label.
