Justyna Jablonska
I am a classically-trained cellist, based in Edinburgh. During the past decade, I have carved out an exciting career at the forefront of both Western contemporary classical and fusion music. I am a frequent performer in Scotland’s exciting experimental and intercultural scene. My current work focuses on free-improvisation and cross-disciplinary performances
Emma Jane Lloyd
Emma is an international performer, improviser, composer, and artist. She performs as a soloist and in small ensembles, working often with live electronics, and collaborating regularly with composers. In addition to the modern set-up, she plays a baroque violin and performs both baroque and contemporary music written specifically for this instrument.
As an improviser, Emma's performance tends to be quiet and intimate in nature, exploring the innate timbral qualities of the violin, and discovering some of the often hidden sounds that can be found with her unique combination of technique and tools.
Chris Lyons
Composer/pianist/many-instrumentalist. On different days he can be found performing impossible electric guitar scores, running enormous Balkan brass bands or teaching people how to improvise fugues.
