Sergio Castrillón (COL)

Improvisation has been a constant practice along my whole life and musicianship. However, my professional work as improviser started in 2008 in Buenos Aires (Argentina) while studied a master degree in Music creation, new technologies and traditional arts and a major in Contemporary Music composition at the UNTREF and CEAMC respectively. There, I collaborated with electronic, experimental and free jazz musicians as well as contemporary dancers and theatre directors among others. Since 2012 I have got into the Improvisation scene in Helsinki (Finland) where I try to be very active participating in several projects and collaborating with multidisciplinary artists such as dancers, performers, actors and poets. Furthermore, since 2013 I have been also developing my work as improviser in Scandinavia, UK, central and southern Europe and other countries in South America. During that period I have been collaborating with underground as well as well know improvisers from all over the world.

Tuomas Timonen / Textormance

Tuomas Timonen (not to be confused with his namesake free jazz drummer) is a free jazz drummer named Tuomas Timonen. But even more, he is a poet and a type writer experimentalist, who strives to make his poems sound, if not good, at least better, than in paper. Thus the name TEXTORMANCE. Other things involved: bands such as LÄSKI and Arkaainen Verenhimo and a poet collective black mödernism.
