March 2023: a three-day recording session at DLF’s Chamber Music Hall in Cologne. Nothing but a cavernous room, two people, their instruments, their musical roots, and the idea of creating something new, something unexpected. Improvised musical dialogues emerge, taking on the most diverse forms. Sometimes spreading delicately into a fragile sound fabric. Sometimes fusing both musical bodies into one entity. Sometimes allowing the instruments themselves to expose their own characteristics. Unity and diversity interweave and condense into new, exciting sound worlds. Tender, grooving, wild, sad, epic, humorous, breath taking, rhizomorphic.
