The Ethiopian Sosena Gebre Eyesus is one of the few contemporary practitioners of the beganna, also known as 'King David's Harp.' It is one of the world’s oldest string instruments, traditionally used by aristocrats and priests to accompany Ethiopian Orthodox hymns and ward off evil spirits.

The deep, buzzing tones of the beganna, combined with Sosena’s gentle, soothing voice, create an exceptionally calming atmosphere. Be calm and be there.

Composer and experimental musician Ameel Brecht is known for his work with the collective Razen, a project that combines early music, spectral compositions, and psychedelic improvisations.

He specializes in esoteric tunings and resonances on instruments such as steel mandolin, guitar, and violone. Following releases like Polygraph Heartbeat (Kraak), 8-Infinities (Disco Transgénero), and The Locked Room (blickwinkel), he is now working on a series of tapes on the theme of sleep for the Belgian label blickwinkel, with the third tape set to be released in September 2024. Brecht has composed music for various dance companies, (short) films, and documentaries, including the soundtracks for Bas Devos’ films Ghost Tropic and Here.
