TINA is a Mutant Radio resident and curates Holy Oscillation, a monthly show on experimental electroacoustic music and the influence of 20th-century classical composers.
Louis Naudin (France)
Überkeine is the alias Louis Naudin gave himself to explore techno margins. With the intent of producing a techno of technological constraints, he investigates the relationship between hardware and software equipment. Delivering a dense and rather garrulous blend of techno, crafted with the use of restricted tools. A witty dance music maker who believes in engineered weirdness.
Conny Frischauf (Austria)
Conny Frischauf is a sound and visual artist based in Vienna, Austria. Their work spans audio production, performance, installation, publication, and sculpture. Experimentally exploring the exclusionary politics of language and narration, Conny is interested in decentralized forms of relationship, encounter, and resistance. Their latest work, “Dwin City”, investigates the Danube river between Vienna and Bratislava through a speculative and transdisciplinary narrative.
Conny’s discography includes Kenne Keine Töne (LP, 2024), Die Drift (LP, 2021), Affekt & Tradition (EP, 2019), Effekt & Emotion (EP, 2018), as well as contributions to various compilations. Since 2024, they have been running “Sedimente”, a platform that slowly interlayers text, sound, space, and more.
Oussama Menchaoui (Tunisia)
O-Samā‘ – أسامة is a multidisciplinary artist and sound engineer. Trained in Tunis and Paris, he works across music, digital arts, and experimental audiovisual practices. His creations blend traditional instruments, synths, field recordings, and archives into immersive, multi-channel performances. Rooted in African and North African culture, his work invites reflection and sensory exploration.
Pedro Latas (Portugal)
Pedro Latas (they / he) is a freelance composer, multimedia artist, performer and creative coder from Portugal, based between The Netherlands and Portugal. Driven by the struggle for body autonomy and integrity, Pedro researches the deeply rooted interconnections between digital media and how it reframes the inherent entanglement between human bodies and their environments.
From ensemble works to solo live-electronics performance, Pedro wishes to engage in radical acts of appreciation of – and care for – the human body, finding beauty and power in all the limitations it entails. Through these acts, Pedro hopes that radical acts of solidarity towards one another will naturally arise. Beyond compositional work, their practice also delves into collective free-improvisation, occasional DJ’ing and radio broadcasting.
