Joseph Hyde
Joseph Hyde’s background is in electroacoustic music, but his work has moved into diverse areas, incorporating a wide variety of stylistic influences, live electronics, audiovisual and immersive elements. He is a regular collaborator, usually with non-musicians: dancers, visual artists, technologists and scientists. He is an Emeritus Professor in Creative Music Technology at Bath Spa University. His key research interest is Visual Music, centred around the Seeing Sound series which has taken place at Bath Spa and elsewhere over the last 10 years. Signal to Noise is an exploration of audiovisual noise, combining mostly analogue sources (shortwave radios, hacked CRTs, home-made electronics) with digital technologies (in particular ambisonic sound).

Adriana Sá
Trandisciplinary artist, performer-musician-composer, Adriana Sá faces instrument design as part of her creative process, while considering that music involves vision and space, beyond audition. Her main instrument combines a custom zither and software made from scratch, which processes pre-recorded sounds and 3D graphics based on the zither sound. Her performances and installations have been presented worldwide since 1997, in venues such as Experimental Intermedia Foundation NY, Aomori Contemporary Art Center in Japan, Caixa Forum in Spain, or Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Culturgest in Portugal, among many others. Her creative work also feeds back into scientific work, currently affiliated with CICANT/ Lusófona University Lisbon.

Steve Gibson
Steve Gibson is an interactive media artist, interface designer and audio-visual performer. His experimental electronic CDs include SPASM: The Sound of Virtual Reality and Hacking the Future. He also performs as a body-based performer using motion tracking and gestural devices to control audio-visuals by movement in 3D space. He has presented at many world-leading venues including Ars Electronica, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Digital Art Weeks, the European Media Arts Festival, ISEA, and Cabaret Voltaire. VRitual AV uses gestural and touch interfaces to control audio-visuals, enabling the performer to move his or her hands and draw to perform and mix music, lights and visuals in real-time.
