Ira Hadžić is a Berlin-based sound artist with a background in cultural anthropology. Her practice unfolds at the intersections of improvisation, composition, and introspection. Working with gongs, radiophonic forms, field recordings, resonance, minimal sonic gestures, and silence itself, she explores sound as a site of presence and perception.
Her projects have been produced by broadcasters such as Deutschlandfunk Kultur and Südwestrundfunk, and have been presented at festivals including Heroines of Sound. Trained as a Deep Listening facilitator at the Center for Deep Listening, she incorporates these practices into her compositions and sound installations.
Ira will present subtle sonic explorations, weaving gong drones that invite deep, embodied listening and explore the physicality of sound.
Tina Stefanou is a visual artist living and working in Naarm/Melbourne. With a background as a vocalist, she works undisciplined, with and across a diverse range of mediums, practices, approaches and labours: an embodied practice that she calls voice in the expanded field. As a means to seek more inclusive ways of making and to frame tangled relationships, she engages in multispecies performance with a family of local others, friends not-yet-made, and poet(h)ic meetings of matter. Informed by diasporic and working-class experiences, Stefanou engages in sound, filmography, and research as social practice, exploring with and beyond all-too-human and more-than-human vocalities.
She works with multiple communities over long periods of time and locations through para-ethnographic field work, vocal workshops, performance making, and filmic traces, exploring forms of poetic knowledge.
Elizabeth Jigalin is a composer, performer and artist who lives on Gadigal land in Sydney, Australia. Guided by curiosity, she collaborates and creates across art-forms.
Elizabeth traverses experimental, improvised and chamber music contexts and her work has been featured at festivals worldwide. Previously, her music and ideas have been brought to life by a variety of performers and collaborators including Synergy Percussion, iipm project, Ensemble Offspring, Soundstream, Anna Koch, Vanessa Tomlinson, Will Hansen, Jane Aubourg, Screen Dive, Lost in Books, curiousworks and FBI’s All the Best.
Elizabeth is the founder of creative music collective the music box project who were awarded Excellence for Experimental Music at the 2020 APRA AMCOS/AMC Art Music Awards for shallow listening - a project premiered at BIFEM that featured her music theatre work prelude & pickle (2019). The group have premiered over 50 works by living composers. In 2024, Elizabeth was the co-festival director of the music box project’s inaugural festival of creative music CUT PASTE PLAY - featuring over 25 artists from across Australia and abroad.
Tina and Elizabeth have performed together many times. Perhaps you’ve heard them in a box or an open field, in an old cinema or a trades hall, in a pub or a blue house? At Jetsets, they will duo, vocalise, weave, wheeze, squeeze, rummage, etc.
