Please join us for an evening of live experimental musical performances on the occasion of Rafał Scoczek's offsite solo exhibition, Kino Drift.

The program brings together Jamira Estrada, a Swiss-Mexican DJ, musician, and composer based in Zurich, and Neverdie, an alias of New York–based artist Sam Lala. Working from a foundation in electroacoustic composition, Estrada moves through drone, noise, and immersive sound to build performances that blur the line between composition and improvisation. Alongside Neverdie, the evening draws together two distinct approaches to live sound, offering a sonic and performative activation of the exhibition.

This concert will occur at the same time and in the same location as the book launch of the latest issue of zweikommasieben.

Please RSVP to rsvp@swissinstitute.net.

Jamira Estrada is a Swiss-Mexican DJ, musician and composer based in Zurich, Switzerland, whose work emerges from a foundation in electroacoustic composition. Her debut album “HUM” (2024, czarnagora) evolves around drone, noise and electroacoustic music, forging a complex and intimate narrative in which the physicality of the instrument becomes tangible, grounding ethereal voices in a raw, tactile presence. Rooted in contemporary music practice, Estrada’s compositional approach is characterized by an intimate and direct relationship to sound, resulting in raw acts of storytelling that delicately navigate between power and vulnerability. Her live performances blur the boundaries between composition and improvisation, creating immersive soundscapes that move between alienation and solace. As both artist and curator, Estrada is an active collaborator within Switzerland’s experimental music scene, being part of Mikro Zurich, Cuadro22 and Czarnagora in Switzerland. Her work spans international tours across Asia, Europe and Latin America, with performances at renowned festivals including CTM Festival, Zhao Dai Festival, Festival de la Cité and Montreux Jazz Festival, as well as at legendary venues like OHM in Berlin, OIL in Shenzhen, Garage Noord in Amsterdam, Yuyu Cineclub in Mexico City, Final in Taipei, and Boiler Room sessions.

Neverdie is one of the Aliases of Sam Lala an artist that lives and work in NYC.

This event will take place at WSA, 161 Water Street, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10038.
