Dariya Maminova (*1988) is a composer, pianist, singer, performer and painter, currently residing in Cologne, Germany. She comes from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Dariya works in the fields of experimental instrumental and electronic music, improvisation, musical theatre, and pop music. She is a performer and composer at the MAMI NOVA project, co-founded with her sister Malika Maminova (percussion) in 2012. A great interest is vocal music: her work catalogue includes pieces for choir, pieces for ensemble and singing, a chamber opera and songs. She is also interested in the synthesis of experimental contemporary music with both pop genres and music from other cultures. Since 2013, Dariya has been a participant in the interdisciplinary project "Framewalk" with the Kabawil organisation in Düsseldorf, where she has worked as a composer and performer together with artists from Ghana, Ethiopia, Mozambique, South Africa and Namibia. Dariya also implements and performs the idea of synthesising various genres in her own project "Dariya's Songs". Dariya Maminova studied piano and composition at the Saint-Petersburg State Conservatory, composition both at the Detmold Academy of Music with Prof. Fabien Lévy and at the Academy of Music and Dance in Cologne with Prof. Johannes Schöllhorn, Prof. Brigitta Muntendorf and Prof. Michael Beil. https://dariya-maminova.com/

Stefan Schwander is a pivotal figure in Düsseldorf's Salon Des Amateurs. He has already amassed a remarkably rich musical repertoire. Through his Harmonious Thelonious project, he has spent the past dozen years exploring the worlds of Pan-African, South American and Middle Eastern rhythms in combination with a minimalistic electronic sound, distilling his very own groove from the point at which they converge. This musical reorientation starts with the fundamental approach to production: The polyrhythms of earlier works are no longer in the foreground, replaced by melodies and chords interwoven on a base frame of brittle, simplified beat constructs and rugged bass pulses. The elemental idea of his Harmonious Thelonious project: a form of dance music which, like a good club night, does not succumb to formulaic rigidity or generic expectations, but challenges the crowd, trading with jazz, krautrock, industrial, punk, dub and disco. https://harmoniousthelonious.bandcamp...

YÜRKE / Stefan Jürke lets us listen more closely. He shows electronic components of dance music and demonstrates them, phenomenologically, from all sides. The single track itself. With his compositions, YürkE literally creates creations that allow us listeners to participate in a process of uncovering and re-constructing typical elements of electronic music. He achieves this by improvising on arrangements of prepared substitute pieces and loops with repeated sets of new technical devices. YürkE reveals the essence of electronic music with his work. Stefan Jürke is known as an electronic musician, among other things, for his many years of work with the duo “GRAPH”. There, as well as as a solo artist, he deals with the interpretation and modification of a wide variety of electromusical genres such as abstract, techno and electronica. The main feature of his work is the improvisational intervention in real-time audio and the combination of different style mixes. Jürke also used the principle of quotation and (de-)contextualization in his work as a DJ. https://yrke.bandcamp.com/
