NATALIA BEYLIS:
Natalia Beylis’ music revolves somewhere between sonic story-teller and multi-instrumental explorer. She has released over 40 albums between solo works and collaborations and has appeared on numerous compilations.
Based in rural Ireland, her work parallels the lines of her surroundings: creaking trees, farm animals, vocal samples taken from conversations with her neighbours, the northwesterly breeze, creatures rusting in the hedgerows, strange noises from the bog at dusk and rainfall. Lots and lots of rainfall.
Her solo compositions and improvisations are a mix of garbled tape collage recordings, manipulated sounds of seemingly mundane objects, eerie mandola mantras and dreamscape piano voyages.
While she regularly records on a variety of traditional instruments, she is just as likely to use non-musical sound sources within her compositions.
For example, she recently released an album using just the sounds created by a domestic Singer sewing machine. Natalia regularly collaborates with cellist Eimear Reidy and is a member of the groups BB84, TheroMancers and Hedgling.

WILLIE STEWART:
Willie Stewart is a percussionist, filmmaker and record label owner based in Co Leitrim, Ireland.
Through never ending exposure to creative people and eccentric animals and to the subtle music of the great planet earth, he has adopted a free improvisational and circular rhythmic style of drumming which is more akin to sound than rhythm.
With a minimal kit set up of drums and found objects, he enjoys wondering what things that can be banged on have to offer. He has been known to sit and talk to a photograph of Milford Graves with his morning coffee.

A. MAIAH:
A.Maiah is the artist name of Asier Pérez Basterra (Basque Country, 1976). Guitarist involved in the basque scene since the late 90s, not only as a musician but also as d.i.y. promoter and editor, Asier has played in post-punk and noise-rock bands for over twenty years.
In 2015 Asier started to develop a solo work that has transited so far between an industrialesque layering of noise and idiomatic compositions of twilight guitar instrumentals to strict free improvisation with prepared guitar and electro-acoustic music based on the sampling of field recordings.
In the last years he has taken part in the directed improvisation ensemble Eraeran (with recently passed Miguel A. García ”Xedh”) and has stablished collaborations with musicians from the basque improvisation music scene.
In 2022 he wrote the original soundtrack for the documentary film “Durangas” by film maker Rakel Calvo.
In 2024 he participated in Meakusma Festival in Eupen (BE) with Marruska Ensemble, a project established to play the music from the album “F(r)icciones” with musicians Garazi Navas (Accordion) and Andoni Penela (Clarinet).
Through the years A.Maiah has played in Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Italy and Great Britain.
