Moir/Coudoux

Both are experienced in explorative improvisation and draw on the extensive sound spectrum of their instruments - voice and cello - as they ebb and flow in the layering of sound. Textures emerge. Tensions arise. Contrasts flow. Subtleties emerge. With a mixture of wild abandon and thoughtful precision, they find a seamless interplay. Skillful and yet playful. They breathe and move symbiotically in the music of the moment and are simultaneously autonomous and yet resolutely connected in sound and space.
