Sophia Sagaradze
Sophia Sagaradze is a sound artist, composer, and performer from Georgia based in Denmark Her current artistic focus is on multichannel electronics, interactive installations, and multidisciplinary performances. Sophia creates works that revolve around the role and the borders between reality as an outer world and unreality as a boundless inner world. She holds a master's degree in electronic composition (DIEM) from the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus and a bachelor's degree in classical composition at Tbilisi State Conservatoire. Sophia recently got a talent prize in composition from Carl Nielsen and Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen’s Foundation.

With Exploring ROOM, ewoud brings his organic vocal trio and their repertoire into a blender. Re-sequencing compositions and their parts into a play of acoustic sounds, electric amplification and immersive 3D sound and light design. Exploring the space of the intimate and the colossal, the dry and the wet, the soft and the loud, with on top inviting glissandi dreams to a glistening resonance.

Andreas Brink Pedersen
Andreas Brink Pedersen considers his music a safe space to be immersed in emotions such as grief and nostalgia. Currently studying the electronic masters program in the Music Conservatory of Aarhus (DIEM). The music is slow sad and
involving and it is highly recommended to use the concert and his music in general as an opportunity to share a moment of sadness with a friend or a stranger. Its emo-ambient and its here to welcome your tears.

Tanis 'Silke' Nielsen
Tanis 'Silke' Nielsen is an Århus-based, non-binary composer, who makes intricate IDM under the pseudonyms '****&c.' or 'Beepetc.'. Their work also exceeds traditional electronic composition methods, as seen in their live-coding drama 'Programmer' and their food-percussion quintet piece 'Misophony for Chips, Popcorn and Soda'. For Lovely Spaces, Tanis' focus is imagination and childhood nostalgia. In their own piece 'Pulchritudinous Places' they're hosting a 'pen & paper' roleplaying game with immersive surround sound and lighting. Tanis will act as storyteller, creating a world for four players, who will explore an imaginary and wildly psychedelic funfair, featuring:
Saga Kapna as 'Anne-Mette Nielsen Jensen',
Noah Nielsen as 'Johnny Båndgo',
Sophie Kelly as Chonny Chlamydia'
Anders Andersen as the depressive butler, 'Gilbert'.
