Susana Santos Silva is a Portuguese trumpet player, improviser and composer based in Stockholm, Sweden. ‘One of the most exciting improvisers in the world’ (Downbeat),
Susana has a singular artistic approach that comes out of a comprehensive spectrum of influences, from classical, improvised and contemporary music to jazz and textural sound art. She is interested in stretching the possibilities of the instrument, exploring new ways of expression within music, as well as dissolving the boundaries between composition and improvisation as well as between acoustic and electronic music. Besides her solo practice she has been working with her projects Impermanence and Life and Other Transient Storms and with collaborative bands with Kaja Draksler, Torbjörn Zetterberg -also in trio with Hampus Lindwall, Child of Illusion, Fish Wool and Hearth.
Her solo work can be found on the albums ‘All the Rivers’ (Clean Feed, 2018), ‘Sometime’s It’s Raining a Lot’ (Matiére Mèmoire 2020), ‘The Same is Always Different’ (Self-released 2020) and
‘From the Ground Birds Are Born’ (SuperPang 2021). Susana is now attending a Master program in Electroacoustic Composition at KMH in Stockholm. Much in demand she has been playing with an array of different projects and bands all over the world, and with musicians such as Fred Frith, Evan Parker, Joëlle Léandre, Mat Maneri, Paul Lovens, Hamid Drake, Ab Baars, Mats Gustafsson, Lotte Anker, Sten Sandell, among many others.

Pianisten och kompositören Mattias Risberg leder sitt band ”Mining” och spelar i ett otal andra konstellationer med div musiker från jazz/impro-sfären. Han hyser en förkärlek för gamla själfulla klaviaturinstrument som han gärna korsbefruktar; mellotron, kyrkorgel, analoga synthar, klavikord etc. Om sitt musikskapande säger han bl.a:
