Reinhold Friedl - piano
Michael Vorfeld - percussion
Reinhold Friedl and Michael Vorfeld have created some of the most engaging and imaginative electro-acoustic music, exploring the potentials of subtle performance techniques and refined compositional approaches.
On Pech, the duo seeks to uncover the hidden and masked character of their instruments - the piano is altered via various preparations and unconventional ways of bringing the strings to vibration, whilst the percussion and other various stringed instruments transgress beyond the rhythmic into a humming textural mass. The result of these two musical workstations meeting is simply breathtaking and reveals a range of provocative and commanding qualities from these traditional instrumental set-ups.
