Naoko Saito is a Japanese alto-saxophonist and free improviser whose work has appeared on the imprint Deathrash Armageddon / Armageddon Nova. Her profile rose through her participation on the 2020 compilation The Region of Braille Respiration, contributing the track "A Song 0923." According to the label and the discography for her debut solo project, she has since relocated to New York.

Her music embraces a lyrical yet spontaneous approach to alto sax improvisation: on the comp track she offered a playful, melody-driven solo featuring tempered momentum shifts, restrained overblows and bursts of breathy flutter, resisting the kind of extreme noise tactics sometimes associated with "free improv," and instead building a gently expressive, personal voice.

Though information remains limited, Saito's emergence - first on a compilation, now with a dedicated solo release - positions her as a promising voice in the often underrepresented field of female-led saxophone improvisation, and a bridge between Japanese and global free jazz circuits.

Audrey Lauro, Belgium.

"First playing in jazz and then contemporary music following musical composition studies and gaining a Slavic Philology Master, Audrey Lauro has spent the last decade developping her music on the experimental Belgian music scene. As an alto sax player focusing mostly on free improvised music she works deeply in the language of the instrument. From the phrase to sound event through all kinds of atoms and particles.In 2012 she curates the festival Wolves Stories dedicated to the female improv scene. She invites to join the "Wolves" Maggie Nichols (UK), Mia Zabelka (AU), and 8 other female musicians to create a portrait of women through music, texts, films and experiments. In 2013 she invites Stine Janvin Motland (NO) to perform with the wolves collective.
