Yuri Umemoto (b.2002) is a composer born in Tokyo. His music is built through notation, recording, and editing, often incorporating recorded voices and songs. He creates works ranging from stage performances to recordings. His practice spans classical and contemporary music/art, as well as club, experimental, ambient, and pop music scenes. Umemoto is currently in residence at @akademiesolitude. Mai Kawano (b. 2002) is a Frankfurt-based pianist. Grounded in classical music, she collaborates with composers of her generation and premieres new works. In her arrangements, she reinterprets existing materials and, through a refined sensitivity to instrumental approaches, explores memory and narrative. Ben Nobuto (b. 1996) is a British/Japanese composer, pianist and producer based in London. With a style described as ‘utterly contemporary’ (Manchester Collective) and ‘sonically dazzling’ (RPS Awards), his music explores themes of attention and fragmentation, drawing from internet culture and popular idioms in a playful, ironic and surreal manner. Often combining acoustic and electronic sounds, his interest lies in how processes from one can be applied to the other, and the relationship between the ‘human’ and ‘non-human’ in the context of a live performance. Lukas Beyer (b. 1997) is djytb, djytb is ____. For example, he turned an IKEA shelf into a sound system (Kallax Soundsystem, 2022), created a musical short film (Official Music Video, 2025), and understands concerts as performative propositions. His (capital m) Music was released by In Unison (Brussels) and 76666 (Karlsruhe).
