Klara and Graham will perform as LEWIS x LEWIS and will both also perform short sets, Klara with long time collaborator Nik Void, Graham with recent RCA graduate, Margaret Fiedler McGinnis and the multi talented improviser Kenichi Iwasa.
Klara Lewis (b. 1993) is a Swedish composer and artist working in experimental electronic music. With a growing catalogue of works that are as tender as they are brutal, she is recognised for her distinctive sound and innovative approach to composition. The Guardian named Opening, her latest solo album, one of the best experimental albums of 2026. Over the past decade, Lewis has presented her genre-crossing audiovisual works at clubs, festivals and art institutions including Atonal (Berlin), MUTEK (Montréal and Mexico City), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), Sónar (Barcelona) and Dark Mofo (Tasmania).
Graham Lewis, currently a resident of Uppsala in Sweden, is Wire's bassist, and is responsible for the bulk of the band's lyrics. Having originally graduated in 1974 from Middlesex Polytechnic with a degree in fashion design, he initially worked as a freelance designer. Successful collaboration with the Jeffrey Rodgers company led to his designs appearing in the editorial pages of Elle, Cosmopolitan,19, and more, and his collections were available in a number of high-street boutiques.
Things all changed in 1976, when he was asked to join—as bass player—an unnamed group consisting of George Gill, Colin Newman and Bruce Gilbert. Robert Grey soon also joined, and the band became known as Wire. However, Gill's departure led to the remaining quartet having to create an entirely new set of material, and so Graham formed a writing partnership with Colin, with Graham primarily acting as lyricist. Subsequently, Graham also wrote and sang many of his own compositions, and with Bruce, Graham managed and created much of Wire's visual identity, including record sleeves and stage design.
Outside of Wire, Graham has been prolific, working on a number of other projects. He's released solo and collaborative CD works with Bruce Gilbert, Ted Milton, Valantina Magaletti, Mike Watt, Thighpaulsandra, Matt Simms, Russell Mills, C.M. von Hausswolff, John Duncan, Leif Elggren, Jean-Louis Huhta, Thomas Öberg, Andreas Karperyd, and Mattias Tegnér. He's also co-founded the groups Dome, Cupol, P'o, Duet Emmo, He Said, He Said Omala, H.A.L.Ö, Ocsid, Hox, 27#11, Elegiac, Lewispybey and UUUU.
Graham has composed music for modern dance (including for the Michael Clark Company, Stephen Petronio Company, and Su-en Butoh Company), and for film (including Brothers Quay, Bigert & Bergström, and Gunilla Leander). Also active in the arts scene, Graham's installations have graced The Waterloo Gallery, MOMA (Oxford), Fargfabriken (Stockholm), Baltic Art Museum (Goteland), and Podevil (Berlin). He also held the Krevian post of Minister of Wholey Smoke.
Nik Colk Void is a UK-based electronic musician and artist known for her experimental approach to sound, collaboration, and live performance. With a background in visual arts, she has become a key figure in contemporary electronic music through her work with Factory Floor, Carter Tutti Void, and as a solo artist.
Void’s practice explores the relationship between analogue and digital tools, using voice, guitar, modular synthesis, and extended techniques to create a distinctive language of sound. Her work moves between techno, noise, experimental and abstract composition, often through improvisation, manipulation, and cut-up sampling. As a member of Factory Floor and Carter Tutti Void, Void has developed a reputation for bold sonic experimentation and uncompromising live performances. She has released numerous albums through labels including Mute, DFA, Industrial Records, and Editions Mego. Through her collaborative project NPVR, Void worked with Peter Rehberg, creating improvised live performances at venues including GRM Paris and Tresor Berlin. She also collaborated with Klara Lewis and visual artist Pedro Maia on Full-On, a project developed over three years and released via Alter Records. The work was performed internationally at venues and festivals including Sónar, Dark Mofo, and the Centre Pompidou. As a solo artist, Void approaches each live performance either as a completely improvised and fresh experience or as a continuation of an ongoing process. Often working with the idea of ‘now’, she creates work that is deeply personal, rooted in the present moment, and constantly evolving. Void’s debut solo album, Bucked Up Space, released via Editions Mego, established her as a solo artist with a distinctive voice. The album was mixed by Marta Salogni and mastered by Rashad Becker, receiving widespread critical acclaim for its innovative approach to electronic composition. It reflects both the adaptability of her performance set-ups, designed to resonate within diverse spaces, and her commitment to challenging conventions and creating new dialogues through sound. Nik has presented live performances at international festivals including Mutek, Sónar, Primavera Sound, and Dark Mofo, and has presented installation works at institutions including the Barbican Centre, Tate Modern, and the Centre Pompidou. Nik Colk Void’s work continues to explore the space between sound, technology, and performance, creating an evolving practice rooted in experimentation, collaboration, and transformation.
