Aïsha Devi: Born in the Swiss Alps, the musician and artist with Himalayan roots currently lives in Berlin. In 2013, she co-founded the label collective for electronic music Danse Noire. Her debut album "Of Matter and Spirit", a significant sound statement with political and philosophical messages, was followed by "DNA Feelings" and "S.L.F.", all on the London-based Houndstooth label. She later produced videos with Chinese artist Tianzhuo Chen and performed with Asian Dope Boys, notably at the Barbican and The Broad. With her hypnotic digital mantras and captivating stage presence, she has wowed crowds at Primavera, Mutek, Unsound, the Boiler Room and countless festivals and venues around the world. She is one of the winners of the 2020 Swiss Music Prize.

Nora Ringgenberg: The young Bernese artist with Italian roots has set herself the task of breaking boundaries. She has been producing music since the age of 16. Over the past ten years, she has condensed this into a fascinating artistic language of her own, including during her Sound Arts studies at Bern University of the Arts. A language in which installations and video projections are on a par with music and lend it additional components.
