Silvia Ocougne and Edith Steyer form a duo that researches in the feild of improvised and experimental music – rhythm and sound – with mainly prepared instruments. In their music you can find traces, that show components of their artistic achievements in different styles and genres. Spontaneously created webs, woven by rhythmic structures are intertwined with experimental noises and sounds, that are based on extended techniques specific of their instruments. The electric guitar, zither, clarinet and saxophone are prepared with different elements, such as water, skins, air and wind and electric devices from every day life.
