Project Description
Two of the most interesting young improvisers of the new electro-acoustic scene. Two eclectic and open minded sensibilities, they start from known instruments to create unknown ways of their usage, new sound dimensions, new imaginations, new practices. Through improvisation they engage a dialogue that involves themsleves, sounds and noises, gestures and objects, touching the territories of electronics, noise, blues, continously trespassing each of them. A real poetics of the fragility and of the
metamorphosis.
