IDCV is the recording of the first sonic encounter of Isidora Edwards and Dimos Vryzas. The two improvisers met and recorded in London, at Goldsmiths University studios in January 2023. This recording becomes an artifact of real-time discovery, preserving the energy of that initial interaction. It’s a sound trace of two voices learning how to exist together.

ISIDORA EDWARDS is a London-based cellist, improviser and PhD researcher from Chile. Moving between thresholds that include the acoustic, amplified, and processed cello and electronics, her musical language questions epistemologies of time, listening, freedom, and pleasure. Her solo and collaborative performances with fellow improvisers have been presented in a number of festivals and venues around Europe, Latin America and the US. She was trained as a classical cellist at the Universidad Católica de Chile, and was awarded scholarships by the National Research and Development Agency of Chile (ANID) to pursue an MMus in Creative Practice (2019-2020) and a Practice-Based PhD in Music (2020-2024) both at Goldsmiths University of London.

DIMOS VRYZAS is a violinist, improviser, sound artist and composer from Thessaloniki, Greece. For several years now his focus in music has moved toward free improvisation. With a unique approach that comes out of a comprehensive spectrum of influences, from classical and folk music to rock, noise and ambient music, he is interested in exploring the limits of his instrument, working with the contrasts of acoustic / electric sound and exploring new ways of expression within music. Creating various soundscapes, podcasts, working with noises, composing music for film and theater are also at the core of his work. As an improviser he performs regularly solo as well as in a variety of other formations such as Life Only (with Fred Frith/DAZ Diego Aguirre), Duo Karbacher/Vryzas (with Eva-Maria Karbacher), The Coal (with Simos Riniotis), Savina Yannatou, Isidora Edwards, Circa19 (with Thanos Kazantzis), Lay Hold (with Gabby-Fluke Mogul) a.o.
He has curated the improvised concert series KlangBang in Basel (2017 - 2019) and co-founded the organization AdHocArts in Athens (2021). He is the founder and artistic curator of Stress.Studio in Athens and No Ordinary Festival in Thessaloniki. He studied Improvisation, violin and Political Sciences.
