Sofia Vaisman-Maturana is a Chilean composer, poet, and improviser. She first arrived to London in 2018 to do her MA in Music Composition at King’s College London. Upon her arrival, she approached the world of free improvisation, including performing with the London Improvisers Orchestra. She has also produced music for several plays, and her compositions have been premiered at Sala Nezahualcóyotl (Mexico City), Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistral (Santiago, Chile), the LMTA Balkono theater (Vilnius, Lithuania), and the Midtown Arts & Theatre Center Houston (USA).
Graham Mackeachan works at the interface of administration, bar work, improvisation and nostalgia for a time before the internet. These days he plays the hulusi, a traditional Chinese free-reed wind instrument originating from Yunnan province, known for its soft, so called “silky” timbre. He also owns a double bass.
