Carina Khorkhordina on trumpet and Eric Bauer on electronics/electric guitar are both autodidact musicians active in the field of improvised music. The duo started in early 2018 in Berlin and is exploring an extensive variety of possibilities, from transparency of small sounds and microscopic changes/disturbing silences to loudness and density. The duo has a complementing/oppositional setup of Eric's wide range of instruments — analog modular synthesizer, sampler, objects, elements of percussion and strings, electric guitar and Carina's trumpet on the other side. They have regularly collaborated with other musicians and artists and, aside from the duo activities, are playing together in Slurge (with Wolfgang Seidel on drums and electronics and Burkhard Beins on electric bass).
The duo has released their debut tape on tmrw> label in 2019 and is currently working on a series of site-specific video works in the public space of Berlin.
