Rafal Mazur, Graduate of State Secondary School of Music in Krakow, in the cello class of 
Krzysztof Okon. Fascinated with jazz and bass guitar, he studied privately 
with a KraKow bass player Marek Janicki. At present Rafal Mazur plays acoustic 
bass guitars custom built to his own specifications by guitar maker Jerzy Wysocki. 
He has developed an advanced and individual approach to his instrument—and to 
improvisation in general—in which sonority, extended technic and gesture 
combine effortlessly in performance. Mazur’s uncompromising musical standards 
are matched by the sophistication of his wit and demeanor on- and offstage. 
He has taken an important role in Kraków to support young artists and improvised 
art and has performed jazz and improvised music in clubs and festivals across 
Poland and in much of Europe (recently in China) . He is a founder of 
“Improvising Artists” - an informal association grouping musicians - improvisers,
 who promote and create improvised music. Rafal Mazur focuses on cooperation with 
Keir Neuringer, project “PROCESS_Laboratory of Intuition” and “Ensemble 56” 
Hunagrain-Polish contemporary jazz band. He is an organizer of “Meeting of 
Improvisers” – the annual international multidisciplinary modern event.He also 
studying philosophy at the Jagielonian University and practise Tai Ji.

Eve Risser has her musical roots in chamber music as a flutist and pianist. 
While residing in Alsace, France, she merged in to the contemporary and 
jazz/improvised music world.
Eve’s multifaceted musical creativity has been heard in various 
settings, festivals and groups throughout Europe, USA and Japan. She has 
had the opportunity to play with interesting improvisers in a broad 
range of contexts, such as in theatre, dance, poetry, children, solo 
performances, contemporary and live soundtracks to films.
Eve's actual musical researches are based on the exploration of 
paradoxal piano sounds, on the experimentation of the different delays 
existing between the improviser and the sound finality, and how all 
these techniques are scribed in a musical meaning.
Currently Eve´s musical life is based out of Paris where she is involved 
in organizing contemporary and improvised music live performances and a 
festival.
Eve has had the possibility to play with great musicians such as Joel 
Grip, Yuko Oshima, Caroline Kraabel, Nina de Heney, Michael Zerang, 
David Stackenäs, Christine Senhaoui, Sofia Jernberg, Shelly Blake, 
Charlie Haden, Tim Murphy, Niklas Barnö, Adolfo Kaplan, Yan Marezs, 
Anete Schluenz, Joris Rühl, Seiko Fukushima, John Berndt, Michael 
Formanek, Gary Thomas, Jaap Blonk, Katt Hernandez, Ron Anderson, Devin 
Grey, John Hollenbeck, Theo Bleckman, Susan Alcorn, Armand Angster to
