Tam Thi Pham Tam Thi Pham (b. 1990) is a Vietnamese multimedia composer, improviser, and performer based in Hamburg, Germany. By merging technology and tradition, poetics and politics, and the sonic and visual realms, Pham creates an integrated mode of expression where music and performance are indivisible parts. Her work as a composer is all about pushing the boundaries—she loves discovering new sounds, experimenting with different forms of expression, and delving into the performative aspects of music. Central to her work are discovering the unique sounds and extended techniques of the dan bau, a traditional Vietnamese instrument incorporated into her compositions and improvisations. Her works have been featured at festivals in Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Hungary, Germany, France, and Serbia, demonstrating the wide-reaching appeal of her innovative compositions. https://tamthipham.com/ Jan Wegmann Jan Wegmann (*1992 in Stuttgart) is a multimedia artist, composer and performer from Hamburg. Their work focuses on small details, giving them space to unfold and showing overlaps and tensions between different materials. They create drifting structures of layers, sometimes abstract, sometimes ironic, but always combined with the goal of a holistic and concentrated result. Jan’s compositions often have a performative component, exploring the expressive power and presence of a person on a stage or in a performance context. To realize their work Jan combines various influences and skills and uses a multitude of resources, self-programmed software tools, hardware synthesizers, controllers or sensors. They use found material, sounds, videos, texts, or 3D/VR visuals and work together with other artists to create immersive atmospheres that fill the space and challenge the perception of the audience. https://wegmann.digital/ Mit freundlicher Unterstützung vom Verband für aktuelle Musik Hamburg, der Behörde für Kultur und Medien Hamburg und Hamburg Open Online University (HOOU@HfMT).
