16.05 | 𝐶𝑅𝑇𝑇𝑅 𝑇𝐴𝐾𝐸𝑂𝑉𝐸𝑅: 𝐿𝐼𝑆𝐸 𝐵𝐴𝑅𝐾𝐴𝑆 + 𝑆𝐼𝑀𝑂𝑁 & 𝑇𝑂𝐵𝐼𝐴𝑆 𝐿𝐴𝑁𝑍 Lise Barkas is a Strasbourg-based bagpipe and hurdy-gurdy player who plunges listeners into a vivid and immersive world of sound. She has honed her instrumental craft in folk ball dances and noise gigs alike, navigating seamlessly between traditional contexts and experimental stages. Her playing is shaped by recent traditional music revivals as well as encounters with experimentalists and improvisers, joyfully combining the still-vibrant folklore of the bagpipes with extended techniques drawn from contemporary music. Haunting melodies emerge and dissolve into blown tones, scratches, complex multiphonics and whistling textures. Through these evolving continuums of sound, she reveals unexpected harmonic combinations and subtly redefines the notions of tradition associated with her instruments. Alongside her solo acoustic performances, she actively pursues collaborations with a wide range of musicians, including Yann Leguay, Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy and Zoe Heselton. CRTTR is a creature of many faces: superstar, trickster and failed poet. It slips through the cracks, its cells dividing, mutating, and reassembling in an endless cycle. Every now and then shedding its skin as it seeks new spaces to grow. And just when you think you’ve figured it out, it changes again. CRTTR is an artist collective based in Bern that hijacks radio waves, transforms cultural spaces, and works with sound and images. We curate exhibitions, organize concerts, host radio shows, and publish selected experimental sound and printed works. CRTTR thrives on collaboration, moving playfully through different genres. It’s a space where artists, musicians, storytellers, designers, and curators meet and experiment together. ************ Infos & tickets: www.miam.space (link in bio) 𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋

22.05 | 𝐼𝑁𝑈𝐼𝑇 𝑃𝐴𝐺𝑂𝐷𝐴 Inuit Pagoda are sonic explorers from Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. They craft music that glides gracefully between jazz, krautrock, and ambient experimentation, while refusing any single definition. Founded in 2019 by guitarist-composer Emilio Vidal, saxophonist Nikola Jan Gross, and drummer Jonas Albrecht, the trio first distinguished themselves with a taste for progressive, repetitive structures and richly textured soundscapes. From the beginning, Inuit Pagoda has blurred the boundaries between music, visual arts, and performance, incorporating graphic projections, mapping, and multidisciplinary collaborations. In 2022, the group joined the Creaked label and expanded into a quartet with Armelle Scholl (keyboards) and Marius Rivier (drums), enriching their palette with both organic instrumentation and electronic experimentation. Today, Inuit Pagoda create immersive, vibrant music blending post-rock, ambient, noise, and jazz, inviting listeners into sound environments that are at once tangible and elusive, on stage as well as at festivals. ************ Infos & tickets: www.miam.space (link in bio) 𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋

12.05 | 𝑌𝑂𝑂𝐾 - 𝑈𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑈𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟 Between binaural frequencies and Nepalese singing bowls, a sonic journey that begins on a Moroccan beach and gradually sinks into the depths of an ocean – perhaps imaginary, perhaps internal – until it reveals itself to be, in reality, the listener’s own. Jocelyn Raphanel weaves soundscapes between vibration and amplification. Known within Fribourg’s cultural scene for his installations and acoustic performances, he founded the Immersive Sound Festival in 2018. His research into immersive music led him to develop an amplified practice of Nepalese singing bowls. This later expanded into an exploration of the sounds of Swiss bells, notably through a collaboration with the the Musée de la cloche in Romainmôtier. In the summer of 2021, he integrated them into a first live performance at the Belluard Bollwerk. Since then, he has regularly accompanied the Basel-based group Magnetic Bach, with whom he has performed on numerous occasions in the Baltic States between 2022 and 2024. ************ Infos & tickets: www.miam.space (link in bio) 𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋

Working between drone music, experimental composition, and visual aesthetics. Simon Lanz designs and builds the duo’s custom wind instruments, while Tobias Lanz focus lies on the compositional and conceptual frameworks. Their practice is collaborative across all stages, merging instrument-making, composition, and performance into an integrated artistic process. Drawing inspiration from the pipe organ while deliberately departing from its tradition, they employ microtonal tuning systems and unconventional playing techniques to explore sonic territories beyond Western twelve-tone frameworks and classical organ timbres.

Under the direction of Luis Noan, they presented stereo works diffused through a virtual acousmonium, exploring sound and space with great sensitivity. Reworked especially for this evening at MIAM in ambisonic format, these pieces now unfold in a new dimension. They offer a striking immersive experience, inviting the audience to step into the very heart of the sound material and be enveloped by evolving sonic landscapes.

How can a place become a sensory experience? This workshop offers an immersion into multichannel sound practices and spatial audio design, at the intersection of artistic vision and technical implementation. Through shared experiences, concrete examples, and practical exploration, Jocelyn Raphanel and Dimitri Coppe will unfold their approaches to space: composition, sonic narration, speaker placement, audience movement, perception, and tension. Open to artists, musicians, and sound experience enthusiasts who wish to deepen their relationship to space, discover practical tools, and expand their creative practice. ************ Infos & reservation: www.miam.space (link in bio) 𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋
