Harmonic passages of piano keys and dreamy synthesizer textures dance with a voice that guides listeners through the inner depths of imaginary worlds.
The interplay of Tisa and Mojca calls towards the multiplicity of potentiality and magic-like experience. Their compositions are windows into the stories of the world, unwinded by improvised passages.
Mojca Zupančič (keys, voice) and Tisa Neža Herlec (voice, objects, flutes) are longtime co-creators, actively performing at home and abroad, most often in the formation of a duo, which sporadically expands into larger ensembles.
Genre-wise, they span beyond electronic ambient music, contemporary improvisation, cabaret and inspired, intuitive poetry. They perform with a great deal of theatricality and liveliness, as well as frank realism, with which they appeal to that within humans that is common to us all.
From September to November 2023 they will be artists in residency at Pondalize, CreativePowerGarage101 in Namegawa, Saitama province in Japan! Composing their new album that will be released in 2024 and performing, meeting local artists, exchanging and inspiring.
