about LARG artistsSoprano Christina Sophie Schönbach was born in Hanover, but moved to Amsterdam at age ten. She studied Classics at the University of Oxford, followed by an MA in Archaeology in Leiden. When in the meantime, it really started to itch musically, she decided to follow the Bachelor Classical Solo Voice at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, which she completed in 2015.Christina discovered her love for contemporary music as a singer at the Young Composers Meeting of orchestra De Ereprijs in 2013 and 2014 in Apeldoorn; through the collaboration with several young composers (Ruud Roelofsen, Cristiano Melli, Georgi Sztojanov); and the performance of De Staat en De Tijd by Louis Andriessen with the ASKO Schönberg Ensemble conducted by Reinbert de Leeuw. Kaðlín Sara Ólafsdóttir is an Icelandic artist recently graduated from the Institute of Sonology in The Hague. Mostly she works with cassettes and cassette players, exploring the possibilities of low-quality sound and obsolete materials. Kaðlín has made several sound installations using hacked cassette players and old cassettes, exposing the fragile materiality of the cassette and the recorded stories that it holds. Recently, she has made compositions and live performances focusing on nostalgia and deterioration by bringing to light the imperfections of the cassette player and connecting it to the imperfections of memory.Olaf Tarenskeen worked as a classical contemporary guitarist and as improviser in several contemporary music ensembles (Schonberg/Asko; Spectra Ens.; Danel Quator a.o) and jazz projects. (Klimt 4tet; Henk Meutgeert; Harvie S.;Tineke Postma, Ernst Oosterveld, Michael Varekamp)Within the contemporary jazz projects the classical guitar was blended to fit in a jazzband, exploring the phenomena of cross(ing)-over (among several CD’s, two articles on Jazz on Classical Guitar (2019) were published in the German EGTA magazine).Lucie Nezri is a composer and performer studying at the Institute of Sonology of the Royal Conservatoire in the Hague. Nezri is drawn towards abstraction and simplicity. Her work bridges different contexts and disciplines pertaining to music, tuning theory, music cognition, computer science theory, and, at times, choreography. Her current research looks at the notion of indeterminacy in computer/algorithmic music. Through the use of stochastics and probability, Nezri investigates the influence of computing machines on the way one thinks and experiences the event of sound. Elisabeth Lusche is a trumpet player specialising in new and improvised music. Originally from a small town in Alabama, Elisabeth is now based in The Hague, the Netherlands. Elisabeth was a soloist in the Dutch National Opera’s critically-acclaimed “aus LICHT” production of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s opera cycle and has had numerous festival performances including the Holland Festival, Grachtenfestival (Theme Prize 2019 and OORKAAN Prize recipient), Rewire, Opera Forward Festival, and Klangspuren Festival (Pilgerwanderung 2018). Elisabeth is also a researcher- performer at Studio LOOS, a hotspot for interdisciplinary artistic research in The Hague and has served as a guest artist at Auburn University.

He made remixes for artists such as Kettel, Roel Funcken, Emika and Stillhead and his own work on compilation albums by Kaer'Uiks, Touched Music, M.o.l.
