About this event

Sopraterra

Sopraterra (Magda Drozd and Nicola Genovese) present their debut album Seven Dances to Embrace the Hollow (Präsens Editionen / La Becque Editions) live: seven interwoven compositions that drift between ambient, drone, and electro-acoustic experimentation, opening subtle pathways into what lies beneath perception. Their music hovers between grounded and otherworldly, where ritualistic motifs meet expansive atmospheres, and reimagined saxophone and violin merge with synth textures. Drawing on baroque and medieval tonalities while echoing post-rock, shoegaze, and psychedelic influences, Sopraterra bend timelines into a brooding, immersive sound world—at once ancient and unmistakably contemporary—inviting listeners to embrace disorientation and attune to what is felt rather than seen.

Devid Ciampalini

Devid Ciampalini is a musician, improviser, and composer of electronic music. His work creates a dialogue between phenomenology and analog equipment. Surrounded by tape recorders, Devid moves like a medium at the center of his experience, filtering and mixing in an attempt to merge natural and electronic phenomena into new elements. For him, recording

devices offer a means of spiritual communication and aim to connect us to this different plane of reality. For over a decade, he has collaborated with a myriad of projects, releasing music worldwide and performing live across Europe.

David Sappa

David Sappa works through kinetic sound objects, acousmatic music, improvisation and field recording - with a dense smudge between.

Their practice treats sound as a threshold medium—tactile and unstable—a means to displace fixed viewpoints and attune to dynamics between bodies, materials, time, and place.

Sappa’s work unfolds through improvisation and a sustained attention to site; found and discarded materials are reconfigured into resonant bodies, where listening becomes both mode and ethic; a way of entering into affective relation with social histories and the more-than-human. Their work has been presented at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Moers Festival, the British Library, Deptford X, State51 and many venues across London.
