 /// L’amour pur [mixed media] A pure, bold, dazzling connection of souls At a heartbreakingly beautiful point in time and space. How truthful and courageous can you truly be? – L’amour pur is a collaboration with composer and sound designer Victor Zheng for engineering and live electronics for the live performance.
Liann J. Kang /// Born in Seoul, South Korea, Liann J. Kang is a composer residing in the US. In her work, she seeks to direct the audience’s perception of sound and space altered by crafted sonic illusions. Inspired by her own synesthesia, her compositions stimulate not only hearing, but all the senses collectively to each awaken uniquely in response to the temporal art of music. Kang is a 2025 Tanglewood Music Center Composition Fellow and has received 2025 ICMC Best Student Music Award, First Prize of the 2024 Sweetwater/SEAMUS Commission Award, and 2024 Kate Neal Kinley Memorial Fellowship. Her works have featured internationally at events and conferences including SEAMUS, EMM, NYCEMF, ICMC, Napoleon Electronic Media Festival, CHIMEFest at University of Chicago, Sound Spaces in Malmö, Sweden. Her primary teachers have included Philippe Hurel, Yan Maresz, João Pedro Oliveira, Eli Fieldsteel, and has previously had masterclasses led by Kaija Saariaho and John Harbison. Currently, Kang is a doctoral candidate in composition-theory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she also earned her Master of Music.
Elonora Claps [soprano] /// Born in Lucania, she studied at the “G. Martucci” Conservatory of Salerno under E. Scatarzi and specialized with A. Caiello, J. Fraser, Sarah Maria Sun, and D. M.-Dansac, attending institutions such as the Royaumont Foundation, John-Cage-Orgel Foundation, Darmstädter Ferienkurse, and Verona Opera Academy. Her repertoire embraces a wide range of vocal styles with a strong focus on 20th-century and contemporary music, both acoustic and electroacoustic. She collaborates with composers, ensembles, and research centers such as the CRM in Rome and the Conservatory of Salerno, and she performs regularly in international festivals and venues, including the Venice Biennale, Auditorium Parco della Musica (Rome), San Fedele (Milan), and the Abrons Art Center (New York). A finalist of the “Premio Bucchi Interpretazione 2015,” she has premiered numerous works, with commissions dedicated to her at SpazioMusica and the MA/IN Festival. Her repertoire includes works by Berio, Cage, Ligeti, and Kurtág, and she has recorded for Stradivarius, Edizioni Scientifiche, and Cesmel.

/// Laminar Flow [performance] In fluid dynamics, laminar flow describes the motion of infinitesimal layers sliding in parallel, without turbulence or mixing, each preserving its own molecular composition. Even at a microscopic level, every section remains distinct, yet the overall result is a single coherent flow, shaped by the sum of its trajectories. This principle inspires Laminar Flow, an electroacoustic improvisation in which three sound currents — Andrea Fabris’ drums and live electronics, Riccardo Tesorini’s modular synthesizers, and Biagio Cavallo’s digital processing — evolve as independent yet complementary layers, intertwining into a shared continuum. Subtle timbral and dynamic variations shape a landscape in constant expansion and contraction, evoking the tension and cohesion of a collective ritual. In this way, the trio Haou Nebout envisions a sonic world where distinct musical currents intertwine, echoing the measured flow of individual elements — a living space where sound is inhabited, constructed, and transformed, and where performers and listeners become part of the same, ever-evolving ritual.
Haou Nebout /// is an electroacoustic trio based in Bologna (IT), featuring Biagio Cavallo (laptop), Andrea Fabris (drums, live electronics), and Riccardo Tesorini (synthesizers, samplers). The group explores the intersections of non-idiomatic improvisation and new territories of sound research, developing a sonic landscape where the archaic meets the post-human, and apocalyptic imagery evokes a return to the origins. Recently, they have collaborated with the label Small Forms (Wien) on their first album, released in December 2024. Since 2023, they have been touring Europe presenting frontal electroacoustic improvisation, multi- channel performances, and sound installation

/// Concrete Casings [A/V performance] The outskirts of Rome are dotted with intentions and ideas that were never brought to fruition. Illegal construction, rigged contracts, and neglect have resulted in the proliferation of abandoned construction sites, destined to remain an indelible testimony to such errors. These dilapidated exoskeletons are memories like fossils from past epochs. The unfinished structures, left incomplete, tell stories of unfulfilled promises and shattered dreams. Instead of being vibrant and prosperous, the peripheral neighborhoods host these carcasses of concrete and steel that degrade the urban environment and scar the landscape. Each abandoned building carries with it a narrative of corruption and inefficiency, a story of betrayed hopes and wasted resources. The rusted scaffolding and incomplete walls are silent monuments to mismanagement, a perpetual warning of the consequences of greed and negligence. These urban skeletons, though immobile and silent, scream a reality too often ignored. They are the tangible proof of a system in dire need of profound reforms and a new vision, one that can transform intentions into accomplished actions and restore dignity and beauty to Rome’s outskirts.
Touchy Toy ///  was founded in 2021 by Gabriele Petrillo, Andrea Lupo, and Matteo Camerini, classmates in Electronic Music Composition at Saint Louis College of Music in Rome. In 2023, Christian D’Amico and David Quintarelli joined the collective. Their work explores the interplay between technology and aesthetics through sound installations, audiovisual performances, and musical compositions. Inspired by a utopian vision of the digital age, their style blends pop culture references with semantic short-circuits. Touchy Toy has presented works at festivals and venues such as Ladispolaneamente, CIM (Colloquio di Informatica Musicale), Palazzo Brancaccio (LCF), Nuovo Cinema Aquila (LPM), and Brancaleone, often experimenting with live coding. Their A/V performance Concrete Casings premiered at the Visual Sound Festival (Nuovo Cinema Aquila) and was later showcased at PatchLab Festival (Kraków), D-CAF (Cairo), Chromosphere at Fotonica 2024 (dome version) and Videocittà 2025.
