Slovenian multi-instrumentalist Samo Kutin (1982) is comprehensively devoted to research and manipulate the various potentials of his main instrument, the hurdy-gurdy, in the field of free improvisation. In extreme acoustic dimensions – from silent noise to loud drones, from soft blows to unbearable screeches – he is using unconventional preparations and extreme amplification, handling both contact microphones and acoustic resonators. Runs regular international duos with Jean-Luc Guionnet, Daichi Yoshikawa, Boris Baltschun, Lee Patterson, and most recently with Martin Küchen.
French sound artist, improviser and composer Pascal Battus (1961) has developed a practice which is more concerned with sonic gestures, listening and the situation which determines them rather than with any particular musical instrument. Among many other sound sources, he uses guitar pick-ups, rotating surfaces, a so-called environmental guitar (a table-top electric guitar with contact microphones, various objects and electronics), and percussion (amplified or unamplified objects). He has published drawings and was co-inventer of Sonic Massages. / pbattus.free.fr
