Join us for a new episode in the extratonal infrastructure series - the extra in Rotterdam's cultural life. Come and watch three acts that will truly push the boundaries of conventions through approaches that create unpredictability and contingencies. Be on time and it is fine!

Dianaband (Dooho & Wonjung) is an interdisciplinary artist duo based in Seoul. In their sound performance 'Cats and Paper Boxes' Dooho plays with feedback resonance. Through various objects placed between a contact microphone and mobile speakers, he creates hidden sounds, subtle coincidences, and unpredictable sound events. Wonjung rides on this tidal wave with the Drawing Synthesizer, an instrument where 'drawing' is 'making sound'. Exploring the infinite possibilities of drawing with paper and pencil, she manages the momentum of the spatial narrative all around the space.

Vegetable Wife is from Seoul. She yearns for noise and noise-making beings that escape from ethics and morality. She tries to strip away the many ideas attached to these sounds, while simultaneously suturing them with different origins. Her sound exists inside a tear-and-paste loop through synthesising, collaging, recording and mixing. With visual artist Jae-hyung Park, this sound is synthesized with video to extend its scape.

Lucija Gregov is a cellist, improviser, composer and programmer. She has been developing projects and researching in the fields of classical music, electroacoustic music, improvisation, experimental music, radio and sound art. Through many interdisciplinary collaborations, Lucija seeks to push the boundaries of traditional cello playing, which further extends her interpretation, technique and ideas. Her instrumental cello practice is the starting point of the sonic exploration, through which, over time, she disintegrated traditional techniques in order to discover a more personal and sincere sound aesthetic.
