We are pleased to present JD Zazie's Organ Sequences. Our bridging of worlds between the scientific and the spiritual, science-fiction and 'the real', using care, intention, and compassion, with non-violence and beauty, reaches into the dreams of a world of plurality, equality, and honesty. Radio Amnion sends its messages of liberation out to all water bodies grieving and feeling stuck here and between worlds. With JD Zazie's incredible performance, we wedge ourselves towards meaningful relations beyond boundaries.

JD Zazie is an experimental DJ, avant-turntablist and sound artist living between Berlin and Bolzano. Coming from a DJ and a radiophonic background JD Zazie has explored over the years different approaches of real-time manipulation on fixed recorded sound. In her work she redefines DJ and electroacoustic activities. As a solo performer, in small groups or large ensembles she moves in an area which is constantly stretching the borders of what is supposed to be DJ mixing, free improvisation and composed music.

Intended as music instruments CDjs, turntables and mixer are her tools to mix the specific sound-sources she plays (mostly electronic music, electroacoustic music, musique concrète, field recordings and improvised music). The typology of the sound-sources varies from already existing audio publications and sound effects, to self recorded audio files – as live-set and field-recordings -, to selected pre-mixed material. Juxtaposition, decontextualization, fragmentation, repetition, sonic texture, scratch and error are elements of the grammar adopted to relate, organize and rearrange the sound material. In her sound installations she explores everyday life, refers to urbanism and relates to sound atmosphere.

She is art director of “MuseRuole - women in experimental music” festival", is a member of the Burp Enterprise collective and broadcasts monthly on Colaboradio and on Reboot.fm.

She has participated in numerous exhibitions and events including SeaNaps festival (DE), Alternativa festival (CZ), Braille Satellite (LT), A L'Arme! festival (DE), Simultan festival (RU), Berlin Atonal (DE), All Ears (NO), Sonic Protest (FR), Heroines of Sound (DE), Reheat festival (AT), High Zero festival (US), Music Unlimited #27 (AT), Tuned City Bruxelles (BE), Open Provocation festival (UK), Festival Rue du Nord (CH), Audiograft 2012 (UK), Echtzeitmusiktage 2010 (DE), STEIM’s Turntable Night #7 (NL), Avantgarde Festival Schiphorst (DE).
