David Stalling (born in Bochum, Germany) has been working as a composer, improviser, sound and installation artist in Ireland since the early 1990s. His works have been performed and exhibited nationally and internationally. With a sensitivity to the sonic nature of both lived in and imagined worlds, David’s practice transcends the traditional definition of composing, utilizing a variety of media: acoustic and electronic sound; field recordings and found objects; video and lighting.

Akio Suzuki (born 1941 in Pyongyang, North Korea) is musician and soundartist. Since his infamous “Throwing Objects Down a Staircase” event at Nagoya Station in 1963 and the self-study events which followed, where he explored the processes of “projection” and “following” in the natural world, Suzuki has pursued listening as a practice. In the 1970s he created and began performing on a number of original instruments, including the echo instrument Analapos.
