Gloria Damijan – Piano/Toy Piano/Percussion/Objects/Berimbau
Gloria Damijan ist Musikerin, (Klavier, Toy Piano, Percussion, Objekte), Performerin und Komponistin
im Bereich zeitgenössischer Musik, experimenteller Improvisation und Klangkunst.
Ursprünglich aus der Not heraus geboren, eine Alternative zum Klavier zur Verfügung zu haben, da nur in sehr wenigen Räumen für improvisierte Musik ein Flügel zur Verfügung steht, wurde das Interesse für das Toy Piano durch die Beschäftigung mit dem Werk von John Cage geweckt. Um den Klangraum dieses Instruments um dessen Innenleben zu erweitern, folgten die Demontage des Resonanzbodens sowie die Kombination mit verschiedenen klanggenerierenden Objekten. Somit hat es eine Eigendynamik hin zum selbstgebauten Klangkörper entwickelt.

Montserrat Heras – El Zaragozeno, Contemporary Dance Performance
The second development of ‘El Zaragozeno’ has been explored during a Residency at Bears in the Park (10
th-23rd July). With themes of fatherhood, identity and culture, Montserrat aims to provide spectators with an opportunity to contemplate their own identities. She is exploring her connection to surrealism, meaning of dreams and symbols, which are very prevalent in her cultural backgrounds.
This will be a 20-minute showing of that journey so far.
Montserrat Heras is an emerging Australian, Spanish, and Mexican contemporary dance artist who recently relocated to Vienna. Her professional training includes Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company MASA (2019), Transit Dance (, 2017), and Broadway Dance Centre with an awarded Scholarship (2016). Since 2020, she has worked in the fields of performing, choreographing, and directing with support and work from organisations: STRUT Dance, The Blue Room Theatre, Cool Change Contemporary, FRINGE Festival, Gogi Dance Collective, Sagrabb projects, Co3 Dance Company and SZENE Salzburg. Her work ‘Together We Unravel’, ‘Spectrums of Chocolate Cake’ and ‘El Zaragozeno’ have been successful in receiving grants from Propel Youth Arts and The Department of Local Government in Australia. Her academic background (Bachelor of Counselling, 2023) enriches her artistic practice by providing a profound understanding of community dynamics as well as the psychological sphere. Montserrat aspires to infuse this unique perspective into her work, exploring how aspects of the self can translate into a collective experience that fosters positive sociological impact. After relocating to Vienna in July 2023, she was selected as a TQW Scholarship in November 2023.

RUG -Hari Ganglberger: Drums | Mario Bergamasco: Guitar
In 2022, drummer Hari Ganglberger and guitarist/composer Mario Bergamasco decided to enrich the Viennese music scene with a new project. Both bring a wide range of musical ideas and a lot of experience. The musical path seems to have been mapped out since their first meeting at a performance by Bergamasco. Live loops, Rubic’s Cube-like rhythmic interweavings, improvisations rich in overtones somewhere at the interface between contemporary jazz and New York School minimal. In their performances they interweave surfaces, dots, strokes, colours, shapes, with plenty of space upwards and into the distance.

RIZOMAGIC – Tropical Futurism from Bogota,Colombia
Rizomagic is an electronic music duo created in 2020 by Diego Manrique, director of the avant-garde cumbia orchestra Niño Pueblo, and by Edgar Marún, director of the ethno-afrobeat project Dorado Kandua.
Their sound is built upon a dialogue between tropical rhythms of the traditional music of the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of Colombia and electronic music subgenre IDM.

Angélica Castelló – Totem 1 (begin)
Evolving Installation
In my ‚Altares‘ series, worn-out machines come to life, are powered by electricity and enter into a dialog with each other and with my media artifacts. These works are perhaps an homage to iconic works by Cildo Meireles, Nam June Paik and Benoît Maubrey and at the same time inspired by Mexican altar traditions, as well as immersed in a quiet personal narrative.
The totems/altar series evoke an atmosphere of surrealist religion, consumerism, and mourning for waste. This garbage-installations feature radios, cassettes, cables, records, computers, and record players—both old and functional—blending evolution and progress with sound and catharsis. Santisima electricidad!
the Totem series are part of the PEEK research project Spirits in complexity — Making kin with experimental music systems, funded by the Austrian Science Fund [Grant DOI 10.55776/AR821]
