✺ Embaci
is a cross-disciplinary artist, performer, and composer working primarily with
sound, video, print, and code. She is recognized for her celestial voice and lyricism.
Since her debut in 2016 with the music collective NON-Worldwide, she has established
herself as an international artist who can hold her own as a multidisciplinary virtuoso.
Her background in music consists of training as a contralto opera singer and jazz
musician. Her work extends into fluid genres and collaborative processes.
She holds a BFA in Fine Art (New Media, Purchase College) and has performed or
exhibited at The Institute of Contemporary Art(London, UK), Yale Union (Portland, OR),
Abrons Arts Center (New York, NY), MoMA PS1 (New sYork, NY), HAU Hebbel am Ufer
(Berlin, DE), Issue Project Room (New York, NY), The Bourse de commerce - Pinault
Collection(Paris, FR), Zürcher Theater Spektakel (Zürich, CH).
✺ Kalione
is the moniker of Russian born producer, songwriter and DJ Natalie
Iakushkina. The music that Kalione creates as a producer and DJ is always about
something emotional, sublime and striving to the Creator. She works with ethereal
waves sound, but you can also feel vibrations of guitar drone and breakbeat in her
tracks. The artist’s works take us through the frozen grounds of Northern forests and
lead to light and angelic motifs that transcend lightness or darkness.
Her mixes were played on the airwaves of Bristol 1020.Radio, French LYL and Ola
Radio, Retreat Radio in Sweden and many others. As a DJ, Kalione turns to the
multi-genre selection, which consists of a breakbeat, ambient, pop music mashups, trap and a guitar drone.
✺ R8
is an emerging vocalist and composer from Geneva, Switzerland, that has launched their Debut Album in April 2024. Their music explores new realms between deconstructed club and avant-pop, marked by melodic vocals. On this iteration of Charmlore, R8 will be performing their Live Debut.
✺ Mirrorange
is a Zurich based composer and producer who translates interpersonal expiriences into an ambivalent web of sceneries. These hinted realities being transported by field recordings, electric bass and a swirl of synthesizers and percussive elements, form a more and more solid vision of interaction throughout the set.
Asides of his own musical practice, mirrorange is co-founder and host oft the label Dream Channel; a hybrid project focussing on both publishing emergent experimental musicians as well as curating listening sessions and live concert in local clubs and venues.
✺ Sunset Ultras
is a Duo musically rooted in hardcore techno and trance. They have recently evolved towards mixing experimental deconstructed club and ambient music in hybrid DJ sets.
