In the organizer's words:

Elori Saxl, born in 1990, is currently one of the most interesting composers of experimental electronic music and new classical music. A key figure in the emerging US underground scene of experimental musicians, the New York-based composer carries on the torch of minimalism and combines it with a contemporary sensibility informed by sound system culture and modern pop production. Hauntingly powerful, mysterious and breathtaking, Saxl's solo and ensemble works reinterpret minimalism as a flowing dream world that oscillates between intimate silence and club sound. Influences from Matmos, Steve Reich and Phillip Glass are audible - the result is refreshingly modern.

With her debut album "The Blue of Distance", Elori Saxl introduced herself to the cosmos of experimental music and modern composition in 2021. Carried by hypnotic elegance and great beauty, the seven pieces on this album lead us into nocturnal landscapes. Here, she combines field recordings of wind and water with the sounds of analog synthesizers and a chamber orchestra.
On the follow-up album "Drifts and Surfaces", Saxl expands her musical vocabulary with two concisely designed ensemble pieces, equally fleeting and unshakeable.
In her soundtracks for Texada and Earth Focus, she once again translates the interplay of memory, environment, nature and technology into sound in a multi-layered way.

Saxl is equally at home in clubs and classical institutions and has performed at Public Records, Nowadays and National Sawdust as well as renowned festivals such as ReWire, WOS and Dripping. Her sets embody her fusion of DIY ethos and exceptional precision and have made her a favorite of audiences across a wide range of subcultures and genres.

In her live performances, Saxl performs as a quartet, accompanied by her longtime collaborators Henry Solomon (bass clarinet), Zosha Warpeha (hardanger d'amore) and Liam Byrne (viola da gamba).

Elori Saxl is one of the most significant composers working today. A key figure in an emerging US underground of experimental musicians, the NY-based composer is taking up the torch of minimalism and fusing it with a contemporary sensibility informed by soundsystem culture and modern pop production. Hauntingly powerful, elusive and stunning, Saxl's solo and ensemble works reimagine minimalism as an aqueous dreamworld that drifts between stark intimacy and club-level sonics. Her music marries a sense of both the ancient and contemporary, integrating electronics and live performance with a timeless humanity. The result is bracingly modern and a wholly original contribution to the canon.

Saxl's debut LP The Blue of Distance announced an essential new voice to the world of experimental music and modern composition. Moving with hypnotic elegance and undeniable beauty, Blue casts a spell with inky shadows across its seven tracks. Her follow up Drifts and Surfaces extends the vocabulary with a crisply-rendered pair of ensemble pieces that feel equal parts ephemeral and etched-in-stone. She's also brought her sense of pathos and awe to original scores for Texada and Earth Focus.

As welcome in nightclubs as classical institutions, Saxl has performed at Public Records, Nowadays, and National Sawdust, as well as at landmark festivals like ReWire, WOS, and Dripping. Her sets exemplify her fusion of a DIY ethos with an exceptional rigor and have made her a favorite among astute audiences across subcultures and genres.

Her live performance sees Saxl in quartet formation joined by longtime collaborators Henry Solomon (bass clarinet), Zosha Warpeha (hardanger d'amore), and Liam Byrne (viola da gamba).
