Combining strings, voice, everyday objects, experimental percussion and live electronics, their work moves between electroacoustic music, drone and noise, creating immersive nocturnal soundscapes. For this performance, Ester will concentrate on the sonic dimension of her practice, working with cello alongside Piceno's experimental percussion and improvisation. They are joined by Martin Lau, a visual artist and photographer whose experimental music practice involves creating improvised soundscapes using woodwinds and a single found percussive object. Martin created and runs Ealing Extranormal, and much of his practice develops through collaboration.

His music has been described as being "focused, intense and unrelenting" (Gaudeamus Jury, 2024), with much of his work utilising limited musical materials, small developments and juxtapositions. His music has been performed by many acclaimed ensembles across Europe, North America, Asia and Australasia, and has had his music included on releases on the record labels Birmingham Record Company and Huddersfield Contemporary Records. He also performs in the Experimental duo, Open Union, who aim to build up strong collaborative relationships; their current collaborators include Christine Cornwell, Wilson Leywantono, May Chi, Paolo Griffin, Seán Clancy and Peter Bell. Their performance at this month's edition of Ealing Extranormal will be a special performance featuring these two composer-performers, who have never previously worked together before. Expedient Self Expedient Self is a Brighton-based solo artist who uses extended guitar loops to create dissonant songs and soundscapes. From The Wire: "Expedient Self is a solo electric guitar project created by Brighton's Simon Chandler. He uses looped figures to create an array of different sounds, which he piles up in ways that resemble Frippertronics NOT ONE WHIT. Even the quieter pieces tend toward dissonance in a way that most such music does not, and the more active passages can be almost (fr)antic (sic). Chandler has a great sense of how to assemble discordant elements into a weirdly coherent whole, creating a very heavy ambience that is not ambient at all."
