YURI LANDMAN Yuri Landman is an experimental instrument builder and musician. After a career as a comic book artist as well as a musician in the bands Zoppo and Avec-A, Yuri Landman began designing experimental musical instruments. Landman has custom built derivatives for such musical luminaries as Sonic Youth, Half Japanese, Enon, Lou Barlow, The Dodos, Blood Red Shoes, Liars, HEALTH, and others.
GELBART Adi Gelbart's live shows are a psychedelic exploration of synthesized modulations and space-age-pop inspired melodies, played with hands-on mastery on analog gear and mysterious homemade devices. His shows are as much a celebration of nonsensical musical ideas, as they are a prayer of submission to alien gods of superior intelligence.
MICHELE COLLINS Michele Colloins is a multi-disciplinary performer from San Fransisco USA, living in Sweden. Performances are everchanging, formed and flavored by the playfulness of the actors and the response from the audiences. She is constantly renewing and reviewing her artistry, relating it to other artists of her trade.
LES TRUCS Half flesh, half wire, half experiment, half pop. Charlotte Simon and Toben Piel work together as Les Trucs since 2008. With their fast and energetic live-shows, the Frankfurt based
human-machine-collective is building a scenery made out of noise and composition, voices and dance, always performing from the centre of the room.
DJ ILLVIBE Vincent von Schlippenbach is not only DJ-ing, he uses the vinyls, takes what is in them and works with them. When he opens his record case, he finds in it a whole universe of music. He unearths great voices, single instruments, whole orchestras, kicks, snares and bass drums or Tibetan overtone singing.
ERICSSON & REUTER Mikael Ericsson and Mikael Reuter explore the boundless possibilities on how to handle found objects, donated synths, samplers and drums. In recent years they have worked with video, sound art, field recordings and land art performance. The show is a playful improvisation with humorous humanoids learning to talk, chant and play.

HARP ART LAB
Harp Art Lab is a laboratory for sound art based in Harplinge windmill, a few kilometers north of Halmstad on the Swedish west coast. The Lab is a unique platform for developing, innovative, interdisciplinary ideas and we work with artists and communities of interest to create performances and installations.
Our main methodology is a socially engaged and discursive sound art practice. The motivations behind our work are predominantly environmental, political, and social in as much as we are attempting to re-mediate contested territories in a scientific and creative way to the public. Harp Art Lab is a non profit organisation founded by Mikael Ericsson and Julie Ericsson in 2010.
