Jiyoung Wi is a musician and fiction writer based in The Hague and Seoul. Her multidisciplinary practice explores narrative possibilities in non-image-based mediums. She has developed a series of ‘sound fiction’ works focusing on the tentative reciprocity between sound and text. As an improviser, she engages in acoustic phenomena as an arena where she dramatizes time perception. Within her untrained, risk-taking gestures, her self-punitive contemplation confronts the thresholds of sonic possessed rituals.
She has performed at prestigious venues including Volksbühne (Germany), Les Siestes Festival (France), The Grey Space in the Middle (Netherlands), Worm (Netherlands), Soto (Japan), and The Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp (Belgium), among others. She has also contributed as a sound producer in exhibitions and performances held at the Sharjah Biennial (UAE), the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Gwacheon (KR), SeMA (KR), Ilmin Museum of Art (KR), Oil Tank Culture Park (KR), and Leeum Museum of Art (KR).
Nick Klein is an artist working in sound and art and sometimes (begrudgingly) sound art with a lean towards the social potential in those modalities as they interact. Klein has recorded a large amount of music for tape, CD, digital file, and vinyl editions for music labels around the world, as well as running his own amorphous label project PL (primitive languages, Psychic Liberation, etc). Concurrently, to the best of his ability, he has shown work in visual art contexts. Klein is uninterested in the prohibitive ideological tropes and circumstances that both contexts offer, and focuses the intent of his work on trying to see what productive energy comes from the friction between the two. Klein likes loud volume, cooking, offline community building, records, bars, synthesizers, and comedy.
Klein is currently located in Berlin. Klein has operated a monthly radio show on Montez Press Radio since its inception and is spending 2023-2024 developing a monthly invitational program at the Volksbühne Roter Salon. Klein has collaborated in various capacities and medial materializations with Wilted Woman, Audrey Chen, Das Ding, Hugo Esquinca, Jean-Louis Huhta, Erik Nystrand, Scant, Philip Maier, Makoto Oshiro and many more.
Klein has performed and shown works in contexts and festivals like The Amant Foundation (USA), SARA’S (USA), MOMA PS1 (USA), De La Cruz Collection (USA), Volksbühne (DE), Empty Gallery (HK), Berghain (DE), Tresor (DE), Seendosi (SK), Cafe Sismo (CDMX), Cafe Oto (UK), Folkteatern (SE), Burning Fleshtival (USA), Herrensauna (DE), and Summer Scum (USA).
Flora Yin-Wong is an artist, writer and DJ who uses rudimentary field recordings, granular synthesis, and traditional instruments, underpinned by influences from club culture. Through these disparate elements, her work channels her interest in philosophical and psychological themes such as faith, obsession, and ritual. She has been commissioned by and presented live at institutions like Palais de Tokyo in Paris, MACRO Roma, Fondation Beyeler Basel, Triennale Milano, Somerset House, The V&A, ISSUE Project Room New York, Volksbuhne Berlin, ATONAL, Unsound and MUTEK Festival to clubs like Berghain, fabric and Printworks. Her music has been released on labels like Modern Love, PAN, Shelter Press, Tectonic, and Nyege Nyege etc. In early 2023 she launched a label and publishing house, Doyenne, and was commissioned by Parisian sound institute INA GRM on a soundpiece designed for their 48 channel speaker system released as a split LP. In 2026/7 she'll release her new EPs with Nick Klein on Room40 and a new moniker Lily of the Valley on YYAA.
Vancouver scene stalwart Venetta’s heady climactic style of dissociative sounds and far-reaching selections has seen her across dancefloors from Berghain’s Panorama Bar to De School Amsterdam, as well as high-velocity mixes for Resident Advisor, FACT and Crack Magazine. Growing up in an Ethiopian household opened a rich musical world early on for her, notably genres like Ethio-Jazz, folk, electronica, and dub, and traditional music – a stylistic blueprint that Venetta draws on frequently in her sets today, alongside a nod to her fascination with psychological thrillers and their soundtracks. For Doyenne and her OTO debut, she’ll be doing a rare live set diving deep into her psyche and unique musical vision.
