David Pirrò is a sound artist and researcher based in Graz, Austria. His works include interactive compositions, sound installations and audiovisual pieces in which performative aspects are central. Departing from a radical inclusive point of view, he seeks ways of composing by which the work of art is constructed through mutual interaction of the agents involved in its performance.

David holds a PhD in Computer Music. He works at the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics in Graz as Senior Scientist, lecturer and researcher in scientific and artistic research projects on sonification, sound spatialization and interaction design. Currently he is principal investigator of the artistic research project "Speculative Sound Synthesis".

Martin Rumori is a sound artist and performer based in Graz, Austria. His installative works are often based on field recordings or narrative residues of the everyday and seek to provoke a reflection on spatial listening constellations. Also in performances, he likes to incorporate the spoken word in space, mostly in the form of literary texts. He plays digital and analogue instruments with a focus on diy electronics and their ephemeral instantiations in improvisation.

Martin studied musicology and computer science and holds a PhD in Sound and Music Computing. Besides his artistic projects, he works as a professional audio software developer. He teaches at the University of Applied Sciences in St. Pölten, Austria, and is a practitioner of the Grinberg body work method.

Leonie Strecker is a composer and sound artist. Concerned with the possibilities of the symbolic and semantic nature of sound, she combines live performance and acousmatic sound to create hybrids of concert music, performance and installation. In her works, which often make use of spatial audio systems, the use of the voice as a means of generating sound, as well as a way of incorporating text and a sense of human presence, is a central element. Strecker’s work includes electro-acoustic music as well as works for soloists and ensembles. Her works have been performed at festivals such as Musikprotokoll (Austria), La Biennale di Venezia (Italy), Audio Art (Poland) and Time Canvas (Belgium), as well as in venues such as Kunstpalast Düsseldorf (Germany), Kunstsammlung NRW (Germany), De Singel Arts Centre Antwerp (Belgium), ZKM Karlsruhe (Germany) among others. She studied electroacoustic composition in Rome and Düsseldorf before graduating cum laude from the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz.
