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 Neža 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.
In 2023, they are responding to the call of their roots and are preparing their musical debut, which will expand their contemporary sound by exploring Slovenian folk tradition and sounds from their home surroundings.
