┆ HYUNJI JUNG┆(KR)
Hyunji Jung is a South Korean sound artist, composer and performer currently based in Rotterdam. Her sonic exploration in modular synthesis focuses on the interaction between tonality and atonality, next to cyclical compositional structure. She studies North Indian classical (Hindustani) music, and is learning singing raga as part of her research. In her performance she will present different renditions of ragas that she has been practicing, using modular synth and her voice. Currently she is working on her first release where she explores seasonal awareness, perceiving sound as agency.

┆URBAN MEGUŠAR┆(SI)
Cellist/improviser Urban Megušar plays across contemporary music, chamber music, free improv, jazz, and folk music; always exploring the possibilities of his instrument. As a member of Trio Tempestoso, he is the winner of Boris Pergamenschikow Preis for Contemporary Chamber Music. In 2018 he released an album with the group Subconscious Rituals. Last year saw the release of the debut of his folk Trio Lumi.

┆BABEurs/044 (Ana Brumat & Henrietta Müller)┆(R'dam)
Ana and Henrietta share a common background in visual arts, having met during their master studies at Piet Zwart Institute. As the artist duo BABEurs/044 they focus on music that comprises low drone frequencies, ambient and subtle noise interventions. Their experimental electronica / improvised set at this Vrooom edition will feature Ana’s self-built string-spring instrument that will lay down a multi-layered tapestry of sound for Henrietta’s distant storytelling.

┆SELF-INDULGENT ASSHOLE┆(R'dam)
According to this asshole (aka the valiant DIY concert organiser and bohemian cafe owner in Carnisse), there's a huge difference between playing music and making music. Self-indulgent asshole does make music AND is playing the music as well.
