QOA & Primeiro

QOA works with listening as a tool to tune into the environment and our own being, centering on the materiality of sound as a vibrational existence that occupies, moves, and traverses the air around us. They generate expanded listening bodily experiences that invite us to immerse ourselves in floating time. Their sound ranges from minimal frequencies, processed field recordings, live sampling of acoustic objects, spoken word, synthesis, & rhythmic spectral convolutions. QOA is part of AMPLIFY Digital Arts Initiative. Their music & installations have been presented widely internationally. Their upcoming album "Sauco" will be released by Leaving Records.

Primeiro is an experimental electronic musician from Buenos Aires. His music transcends conventional boundaries, delving into the realms of ambient, hand-made trance, and beyond. While his work may initially evoke a sense of tranquility akin to artists like Hiroshi Yoshimura, a closer examination reveals the intricate layers and meticulous arpeggios. In 2023, he released his first album, "Music for Horses," with the Berlin-based label Danzee. He has shared stages with various artists, including Jeff Mills, Caterina Barbieri, Jan Jelinek, and Upsammy. Additionally, he organizes Feed the River festival hosted in Hamburg, Chemnitz, and Berlin.
