Catrin Manoli ist die Schnittstelle zwischen Taxidermie und Sound, WORTWÖRT;SCHNITTSTELLE. Als gescheiterte Tierpräperatorien befindet sich ihr Wohnzimmer im Zug. Im Moshpit immer erste Reihe, mit ihren signifikanten ein Meter fünfzig setzt sie aktiv ein radikales Zeichen gegen rechte und kolonialistische Strukturen. Ihre Matratze liegt auf einem Bühnenelement. Als vocal und Soundartist leistet sie die Bühnenarbeit ihrer luziden, realitätsfernen Träume. Rauschend schöne Störgeräusche werden mit konservierten toten Tieren kombiniert und bilden eine Horrorshow von Konfrontation, die Speziesismus und unsere Vergänglichkeit als menschliche Tiere hinterfragt.

S. Nicolussi works in experimental sonic realms of Ambient, Drone, Techno and Noise. Electroacoustic systems, field recordings and everyday noises form the basis for his highly manipulated sound designs. Nicolussi released on labels like Beach Buddies, Sama Recordings and Vienna Underground Traxx and also performs in numerous different projects.

Tahereh Nourani is a Vienna-based composer and sound artist focusing on electro-
acoustic and experimental music. In her work, she explores the potential of slowness and
silence as well as the connection between sound, text and video. Using free
improvisation, extended playing techniques, amplified objects and minimal live
electronics, she creates reduced, organic and archaic sound spaces that span an arc
between ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Memory Response) and noise.
Nourani is a member of QMA artist collective (2024), SHAPE+ Artist (2023) and winner of
the PhonoECHOES Award for Experimental Sound Art (2021). Both solo and in various
projects, such as the Vienna Improvisers Orchestra, she has performed at festivals such
as Moers (DE), UH Fest (HU) and Üle Heli (EE). She studied European classical flute at
Tehran University of Arts and at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna
(MDW) and was Artist in Residence at AQB and Hotel Pupik.
