Blanche Biau is the project of the audio-visual artist Aurelia Kapfer, based in Zurich. Initiated in 2019 as part of an application to art school, the project quickly evolved beyond its academic origins into a fully developed musical practice.

Working with a strong DIY ethos, Kapfer writes, produces, and performs her music independently, often also designing the visual identity of the project. Her sound draws heavily from 1980s wave, post-punk, and 1990s shoegaze and trip-hop, blending nostalgic textures with a contemporary sensibility. The result is a melancholic yet immersive sound, characterized by atmospheric layers, driving rhythms, and emotionally direct songwriting.

Since its inception, Blanche Biau has grown into a notable presence within the European alternative music scene. The project has released two full-length records, Maraudé (2021) and Heartcore (2025), which further established its signature sound and led to wider recognition. Alongside its recorded output, Blanche Biau has developed a significant live presence, performing extensively across Europe over the last 5 years. The project is also embedded in a wider network of contemporary Swiss music, with Kapfer participating in other bands and collaborations within the scene.

Discovery Zone is the experimental pop project of New York musician and multimedia artist JJ Weihl.

After the slow-building but undeniable fervor around her debut album Remote Control, Discovery Zone released her second album Quantum Web on RVNG Intl. and Mansions and Millions in 2024. On the album Discovery Zone plunged into an uncanny valley, where the distinctions between the earnest and the ironic blur in tandem with the human and the post-human.

On stage, Discovery Zone explores a widescreen pop sound speckled with luminous vocal performances and baroque instrumental flourishes. She utilizes a laboratory of instruments and 3D visuals to explore the universe as a source of information. New Discovery Zone music is set to arrive in the first half of 2026.
