Zlatko Baracskai (1982) was born in Sarajevo from a very mixed background of Bosnian and Hungarian ancestors. His early interest in computers, science, drumming and music led him to become an expert in music technology. He teaches a wide range of subjects at universities all around the globe to include signal processing, acoustics, psychoacoustics, generative music, audio programming, studio applications and user software. His published writings and inventions include non-linear distortion, unconventional audio processing and neural networks. / zlatko.hu

Urška Preis (1992) is a Slovenian harpist and visual artist who finished her studies at the Academy Of Fine Arts And Design in Ljubljana, Slovenia and at student exchanges at the Listaháskóli Íslands in Reykjavík, Iceland and the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig, Germany. She is a member of duo II/III with music producer Tine Vrabič. In Leipzig, she became known for her contemporary music solo project Rouge-ah. Her first solo album, entilted Bare, was released by Kamizdat in 2018, and since then she is a frequent collaborator of various music and interdisciplinary art projects.

Ljubljana-based Croatian double bass player Boris Janje (1974) studied music at the Music School in Velika Gorica and graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Zagreb. For many years he has been engaged in free improvisation, exploring the sonic possibilities of his instrument. Janje's playing has been documented on collaborative albums with Jean-Luc Guionnet, Markus Krispel, Cene Resnik, Giovanni Maier and Stefano Giust – among many others. With Italian dancer and movement artist Cristiano Fusillo, they form a duo that creates and explores freely improvised music and free dance forms.

Ljubljana-based Slovenian musician Jaka Berger (1980) is one of the most active and diverse drummers on the Slovenian music landscape since the release of his debut collaborative album in trio with Samo Šalamon and Achille Succi. Since 2014, he has been creating music for his prepared drum kit, with which he regularly publishing solo works. With his creative ideas and unique approaches he incorporates music into our everyday lives and through it teaches and encourages relationships based on listening, responding, coexisting and cooperating. / jakaberger.com
