Voutchkova/ Maras + Johansson/ Heenan/ Honsinger
Voutchkova/Maraš
Biliana Voutchkova - violin/composition
Svetlana Maraš - sound art/composition
The duo had their first encounter in 2007 performing for the Swiss-Balkan Project in Sofia and Beograd. Since then the two performers kept their artistic relationship and developed original style combining acoustic music with electronics, text and performance. The musicians are intrigued by instant composition/improvisation focusing on the vast border line between pre-structured elements (compositions) and responsive parts (improvisations) and they work simultaneously with both in respect to the performing space, audience and momentum.
