Sabine Vogel focuses on sound and improvisation, using extended techniques both acoustic as well as electronic, creating a very personal contemporary language. Discovering and producing the unheard, the intimate, in relation to sound production, is her main focus of exploration. Recently she became more and more interested in site specific work, creating compositons and sound installations combined with live playing in natural environment. Her current projects are: ORNIS; an audio-visual Duo with British artist Kathy Hinde, LANDSCAPE QUARTET, an enviromental soundart project with Bennett Hogg, Matt Sansom and Stefan Österjö. She is a member of the SPLITTER ORCHESTER, a 24 piece improvising orchester, based in Berlin. Sabine Vogel has worked a.o. with Anthony Braxton, Arto Lindsay, Tony Buck, Jim Denley, Chris Abrahams, Alex Nowitz, Andrea Neumann, the Walter Thompson Soundpainting Orchestra. She has a teaching position at the University Potsdam.

Olaf Rupp explores the field of free improvisation with an uncompromising radicallity. The extreme virtuosic playing techniques which he has developed by himself are the result of a unique artistic discipline far away from the usual standards and conventions. He is always expanding his sonic range evermore: in his subtle, pointillistic soundworld every single note appears as a colour-dot inside of a larger matrix.
