Martini-Windisch
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"Saxophonist Daniele Martini meets sound artist Franziska Windisch, together they dig deep into the realms of acoustic and digital experimentation.
What emerges is density, rarefaction, spatialisation, expansion and contraction of a wide array of sound elements, shapeshifting between melodic and noisy events."

Daniele Martini (saxophone, electronics)
Born in Rome but based in Brussels for a long time, Daniele Martini is a versatilesaxophone player active in different musical areas. With a solid career made of performances all around the globe Martini had the opportunity to perform and record with some amazing musicians of very different fields: Nate Wooley, Tony Allen and Kologbo of Africa ‘70, Jozef Dumoulin, Li Jianhong and many others.
In his own quartet heʼs joined by some remarkable Jazz musicians: Bram De Looze on piano, Manolo Cabras on bass and João Lobo on drums.

Franziska Windisch (laptop, pure data)
Windisch lives and works in Brussels. Her work moves between the areas of performance, text, composition and installation. She composes scores for performative acts which interrogate notions of trace, medium, sound and listening and which she then incorporates in linguistic, sculptural and installative arrangements. Her work has been presented internationally in art spaces and at festivals. Since 2016 she has been teaching with a focus on sound art.

David Pridal
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Oscillates between the fields of experimental ambient, drone, noise, and sound installations. His livesets are journeys through layers of sound, slowly evolving and modulating from deep reverberating dronescapes, field recordings drifting in to walls of noise to pulsating bassfrequencies, live performed on synths, granular samplers and effect pedals.

David studied media design and painting, lives and works as a illustrator & sound artist in Vienna. He has participated as a musician & sound engineer in events such as the Sonic Territories Festival, the Vienna Improviser Orchestra and FM4 Swoundsound. He has also been a sound designer and live musician for theater productions and dance performances. David plays in various formations as well as solo. Since 2020 he is co-founder of the artist collective Sandkasten Syndikat and Klub Montage, an event series for transdisciplinary improvisation&media art.
