Artist Bios
Polygonia (Lindsey Wang)
Polygonia is the multidisciplinary music and art project of Lindsey Wang, an electronic music producer, DJ, and visual artist based in Munich. Her practice draws on a deep background in acoustic instruments and an interest in cultural diversity, expressed through electronic music and digital art that flows between groovy, trippy techno, breakbeat, bass music, and Grey Area, with traces of house, electro, and ambient. She co-founded the IO collective and label in 2018 and launched her own label QEONE in 2022, focused on organic timbres and sound-design-driven electronic music; in 2021 she formed Lyder, a jazz/electronic band project with Niklas Bühler and Moritz Stahl. She holds a residency at Munich’s BLITZ club and plays regularly at Tresor, Berghain, and beyond.
Joee Mejias
Joee Mejias is a Manila-based musician, video artist, and projection designer. Her avant-pop electronica work draws on laptop, kalimba, lyre, bells, shakers, and melodica, layering looping riffs and complex contrapuntal arrangements. She has been making electronic music in Manila since 2005, among the first generation of Filipina electronic musicians alongside Ria Munoz and Teresa Barrozo, and has worked as a projection designer since 2009 across corporate events, fashion shows, theater productions, VJ gigs, and audio-visual performances. Her debut album launched with a multisensory audio-visual performance at Power Mac Center Spotlight (Fringe Manila) in 2017.
Alyana Cabral (T33G33)
Alyana Cabral is a multidisciplinary artist, producer, and DJ from the Philippines, working under the moniker T33G33. Her music — a haunting pairing of voice and synthesis — advocates for substantive change on human rights and gender issues. She is the sound engineer of Elephant Sound System, the rental rig run by the queer collective Elephant, which has hosted parties and raves across the Philippines since 2017. She also performs solo as Teenage Granny and plays in the bands Ourselves the Elves (garage folk) and The Buildings (fuzz pop). She frames her practice not just as a musician but as a “cultural worker” — organizer, facilitator, and sustainer of spaces where culture can thrive for society’s most vulnerable.
Heresy
Heresy is a Manila-based, female-curated platform for women working with sound, new media art, and creative technology — pushing for a more gender-inclusive new media arts community and increased visibility of women across these disciplines.
