Since autumn 2020 we play together in a duo, combining all-day-life sounds and noises with melodies, loops and beats, using analogue instruments complemented with digital sound effects. 

The foundation of our music is improvised adapted to the surroundings where we play or perform. We create a concept of ideas that suit the situation, wherefore we think out the ground frame to improvise on. Sometimes it is necessary to record certain sounds at forehand, for example nature -, printing technique -, or for in this case radio sounds. They are mixed into the sessions, (we improvise around this certain theme).  

In playing we search for the variety in sounds the instruments can make, for they can create the most interesting resonances, within themselves, with the other instruments and the room itself. We try to unfold the space and circumstances in general, varying from repetitive rhythms, bold elementary sounds, to lyrical melodies, theatrical statements and back to silence.
