The exploration of sharing and vulnerability takes centre stage through a musical and gestural dialogue, binding two performers in a choreography of sound and movement. Elsewhere, the boundary between composition and improvisation dissolves, instruments are repurposed and transformed, and tension builds through an unpredictable narrative. Finally, voice intertwines with music, resonating with poetry, evoking both wandering and the intensity of words in a world that is at once intimate and theatrical.
As part of her artistic research, Martyna Kosecka is developing a series of concepts for mini-operas in which she explores how the shortening of the dramaturgical action affects the content of the form. In this programme, the narratives of the music are repurposed to speak of connections—the relationships on stage, bridges between different sound worlds and finally shared moments through the act of performance.
Spectro Duo
Spectro Duo's musical origins lie in the world of contemporary music. But their practise is rooted in improvisation and performance art. Two composer-performers form a contemporary music band whose expression of the performative defies categorisation. Spectro Duo began its work in 2013 and consists of two composers and performers, Martyna Kosecka (voice, keys, sound objects, electronics, video) and Idin Samimi Mofakham (alto saxophone, electric guitar, sound objects, electronics). Their musical focus is on drones, noise, beating phenomena, glitches, field recording transformation, microtonality and non-western tuning systems.
