Duo FLUX
Christina Fuchs - soprano sax, clarinet, bass clarinet
Florian Stadler - accordion
Two protagonists of jazz-based improvisation music use acoustic instruments to develop a discourse on the possibilities of contemporary interplay. Delicate counterpoint and prancing polyrhythms sound effortlessly alongside raw towers of sound, vehement chord clusters and simple cantability.
When Christina Fuchs and Florian Stadler founded the duo FLUX in 2018, the Bonn-based accordionist and the Cologne-based saxophonist, clarinettist and composer were still experimenting with the various forms and possibilities of composed and electro-acoustic music. Over time, the two like-minded musicians found a new orientation towards purely analogue improvised music.
On their new album Roots & Rhyzomes (JazzHausMusik Köln) and in upcoming concerts, they will present this concept in 2024.
