Recorded live at Mohrvilla, Munchen/Freimann, Germany, on May 19th, 2017, by Udo Schindler.
"Influences of jazz, non-European music, cross-genre as well as sound research and other suggestions of new music become in the concert an open journey into new instrument sound worlds.
Two international air-sound adventurers of the highest class and protagonists of the new and improvised music explore the options of the sound producers, expanding the conventional framework of the sound ideas. The formation of ephemeral, extreme, genre-distant and cliché-free sound adventures can be experienced live - a summit of improvised music. A duo of equal voices, which - in condensing, superimposing or unbundling - become an unmistakable collective sound. The improvised chamber music of the musicians is characterized, among other things, by the synthesis of the different musical origins and the 'socialization' of the players, as well as the juxtaposition of the fixed sounds of the piano with the advanced playing techniques (multiphonics, microtonality, preparations, non-identifiability of the sound producers). The improvisation approach ranges from barely perceptible, subtle to highly energetic sound events, integrating derivatives of classical, jazz, new and non-European music."-Masako Ohta website, translated by Google
