Viv Corringham is a US based British vocalist and sound artist using voice, electronics, and field recordings. She has been described as “a vital force in improvised music since the late 1970s” (Corey Mwamba, BBC Radio 3) and “a vocalist of stunning virtuosity” (The WIRE).
She is certified to teach Deep Listening by composer Pauline Oliveros.. In 2024 this practice took her to Mexico, Spain, Germany and the Listening Academy in Hong Kong. Solo performances have occurred at festivals including Fonoteca Nacional de Mexico, Issue Project Room New York, Hong Kong Arts Centre and Tempo Reale Florence.
Her definitive contribution to sound art practice is the 20 year ongoing “Shadow-walks”, which combine recordings from shared and solo walks with her improvised sung response. They have occurred in 18 countries, are taught in many sound art classes and have been the focus of articles in books and publications.

Gianni Mimmo has built an international reputation for his unique treatment of musical timbre and his exploration of the advanced techniques on the soprano saxophone. His peculiar work is mainly focused on the relationship among distant artistic declinations and his style is based on a deep knowledge of the instrument and on a sound consciousness which is the constitutional element of his voice.
Gianni has developed a unique blend of abstract lyricism and contemporary flavours. His projects have been excellently reviewed by international magazines and webzines.

He is active in many current collaborations: Ghost Mind, Longstone, Lo-fi Ensemble, Mike Adcock duo, Pete Robson duo, Madrona, the Cheltenham Improvisers Orchestra, The Men They Couldn’t Dance To, and a new trio with Kaneng Lolang and Charlie Folorunshu. He currently runs the Lo-fi Improvised music Workshops in Camberwell. In the past he set up and ran Xposed Club promoting improvised music in Cheltenham. He has worked in several smaller improvising ensembles and with the Flying Down Trio, Hither Green Drone Orchestra and Makeshift.
