BIG|BRAVE’s body of work continues to expand. The breadth of their sound encompasses a breathtaking array of dynamics and sonic textures. Guided by their indomitable spirit of exploration, their sound exploits the contrasts between extremes and subtlety. The trio’s unique, masterful art of shaping sound into song weaves layers of vulnerability into formidable storms. *in grief or in hope* is an innovative vision of electro-acoustic sound and emotive storytelling, an endless bounty of overwhelming distortions and devastating beauty.

Lane Shi, known professionally as OTAY:ONII, is one of the most inquisitive and genre-defying artists of her generation. A multifaceted creator whose work spans performance art, composition, installation, and avant-garde music. This will be her fourth time aboard the MS Stubnitz, and we are thrilled to have her back. She has just released a new album— *Love Is In The Shit* —which she will be performing.
