Her process is intuitive and her vocals transmit a sensitivity that adds to the purity of her overall sound. This is complimented by the minimalistic additions of different instruments including piano and clarinet. NUTIA Hamburg-based artist Nutia is an electronic tech-house musician creating silky, pulsating tracks punctuated by different textures and sounds. This is achieved by mixing electronic samples with live sounds to produce spherical and groovy beats.   CLARA Clara is an experienced cellist who has played with an orchestra for many years as well as with different chamber music ensembles. She is also interested in experimental ways of playing her instrument. Using different techniques, she lets the warm sound of her cello vary between soft floating tones and vibrant staccato rhythms.   DOBRÉ Originally from Munich, now based in London, Dobré’s style ranges between indie and folk. His singing and songwriting emits high spirits and is often accompanied by his band. Being very versatile and spontaneous, Dobré manages to create different moods using a wide range of instruments.
