Josep Sanz (España) (Barcelona 1977)Este jóven compositor catalán participa con la obra IRR_Study#2, para 5 voces virtuales (2013/2014)
"...I started to think about a set of pieces to ask myself about what I did want to compose. This sort of tabula rasa, hides the eternal question about what is art and what is art for. I started then to write down a list of characteristics that music have to include. The list began with Irregular, Irrational, Irreverent, Irritating…. From this list came of course the name of the series: IrrStudies."

Evis Sammoutis (Chipre) (Nicosia 1979). Evis participa con la obra Sculpting Air para cinco voces (2013/2014)"The characteristic that most defines me as a composer is my curiosity and my willingness to experiment. Greek mythology as well as natural phenomena is often source of inspiration. My aesthetic choices are rooted in spectral music and the quest for sound development. My work as a composer is deeply rooted in the tradition of both Western classical music sources but also that of my home country, Cyprus."

Al Ken kara para 7 voces (2013/2014).
"I am inspired by questions of history, memory and identity and how to translate answers to these questions via the musical work. I am inspired by composing itself, as composing is not a choice but a necessity. My musical roots come from many directions: Dufay, Bach, Beethoven, Mahler, Hungarian folk music, Jewish liturgical music and many others."
Brahim Kerkour (Marruecos) (Rabat 1980) Participa con la obra Intone para 6 voces (2013).
"His work situates itself within a musical philosophy of sensory experience.
