Coline Cornelis b2b Le Motel
Artist and composer Coline Cornelis has etched out a singular audiovisual universe where sound, space, shapes, and textures meet to form a (often narrative) whole. Maloca head honcho Le Motel too has shaped the sound of Brussels for many years now, with his own productions and by bringing in sounds and artists from the far corners of the world. In their Resonant Breathing Exercise series, these two sonic explorers focus on field recordings, organic sounds, sound design, meditative and nostalgic pieces, soft percussions, spoken word, film excerpts, edits of teenage memories… The gentle, slow show started as a residency on Noods radio to celebrate chance and destiny. Tonight it opens the rooftop stage with a warm invitation to come find rest, dreams, a teeming inner life, and fruitful reflection.

Tristan Arp
Tristan Arp is a producer, DJ, and composer born in suburban Detroit and based in London. Polyrhythmic freakouts and adventurous blends propel his varicolored DJ sets, while his live sets weave hand-drumming with improvised electronics across club and ambient iterations. Together with Simisea, they run the label Human Pitch and have held a residency at The Lot Radio in New York since its inception, featuring guests from around the world. He is also a member of the percussive ambient trio Asa Tone. A shapeshifter across strains of biologic club environs and sculptural soundscapes, there is only one way to find out what Tristan has in store for the rooftop tonight.

Katatonic Silentio
Mariachiara Troianiello, the Italian sound artist behind the moniker Katatonic Silentio, works at the crossroads of electronic music, performing arts and sound studies. She has performed at festivals and cultural institutions in Berlin, Singapore, New York, and closer to home at Meakusma and La Nature festivals. Her DJ-sets take many forms: from musique concrète, spoken word, and ambient to more dubby/clubby beats, even crossing techno, leftfield or drum'n'bass. Next to regularly composing for theatre and dance, her current sonic research delves into the mythological origins of sound itself and tracing its evolution from primitive cultures to the modern world. Mariachiara views sound as a critical tool to examine the interplay between space, movement, the body, and its full spectrum of emotions.

Yuto Takei
Splitting his time between Tokyo and Amsterdam, composer and DJ Yuto Takei went from producing music for video games and car promotions (including Gran Turismo and Lexus) to focusing on his own compositions. He tends to utilise organic, human elements within his productions, usually via field recordings from the cities, mountains and caves that he explores. In the past few years Yuto Takei has been touring Europe with gigs in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Serbia and Macedonia. In 2022 Maloca released his Ma EP, and as recently as December 2025 you could catch Yuto on Kiosk Radio with a hybrid set that drew upon ambient, leftfield electronics and even some hefty video game music.
