Projekt Beschreibung

The reduction to the essence in conversation. Viola Hammer and Patrick Dunst, in this DUO lineup, face the challenge of the minimal, thereby opening up a field of experimentation for which there was no room in the larger ensembles in which the two duo partners first encountered each other musically. Stripping away the complexity and grandeur of larger ensembles leaves the performers in a more vulnerable position. They must be comfortable with exposing their musical ideas and emotions in a raw, unfiltered manner. The release of the self-titled album "Essenzen" (Essences) in the OE1 Edition Jazz Contemporary 2025 documents long and short musical conversations and 5 compositions by the two established Austrian instrumentalists, leading the listener into a world of fragile, musical intimacy.
