In the organizer's words:

Fabiana Striffler and Karsten Hochapfel share the same penchant for improvisation, psychedelic folk, jazz, experimental music, but also for a simple song and the beauty of a melody. In their music, the two move almost carefree and intuitively outside of classical patterns, in search of a common form of expression, without getting caught up in the maelstrom of the centuries-old high culture of their respective instruments. They are interested in unconventional approaches to questions of a musical and social nature. The internationally established duo experiences music as an energy of life, as a playground, as a place of new discoveries and as an opportunity to experience and facilitate encounters. In 2022, the violinist moved to Paris for six months. The duo formed during this time is currently working on its second release.
