Vojta Drnek
Born:
Unique Czech jazz accordionist Vojta Drnek belongs to the group of musicians who are constantly stretching the boundaries of what is expected of their instrument. Jiří V. Matýsek from Musicserver.cz described him as someone who “is able to move smoothly from role to role: from a soloist through a partner in a dialogue to a humble side-man. In all cases, he colors the music in specific shades and harmonic intersections.” He communicates with other musicians and audiences what he terms “simple, but powerful truths about life”.

Han-earl Park
Shifting and switching from No Wave skronk to interstellar guitarist-as-drummer virtuosity, from stampedes of miniature Pomeranian Buffalos to All-You-Zombies heterophonies, Han-earl Park (박한얼) has been performing beautifully messy, joyously difficult, ambiguous and discordant improvised musics for over twenty years.
Park is drawn to the noisy poetry of interactive play; its pleasurable complexities, and joyous discords. He has become increasingly fascinated by the possibilities of refracting the improvisative through narrative tropes and forms, sometimes transposing techniques from fiction and cinema. He seeks musics that are ‘inconvenient,’ that resist easy resolution, and seeks practices that take seriously consent, affinity, agency, trust and compassion.

Pablo Tarantino
pablotarantino.com
In his debut album ‘Charnia’ Pablo Tarantino transforms the influences of his many-sided cultural and musical background into Charnia. The album takes name after the extinct living organism which grew on the sea floor, 570 to 550 million years ago, and that encompasses the beauty of our life on Earth.
Ever since Pablo started his journey as a musician in his teenage years, first as a student of modern music in Valencia and Barcelona, later in his life as a performer in England, Scotland and Germany, he has been interested in translating the stories of the world that surrounds him into music. His interest revolves not only around the rhythm, but also in the stories, the melodies, the harmonies, and the textures of the sounds.
