After their highly acclaimed 2014 debut album as a duo, Anja Lechner and Fran‡ois Couturier widen the scope of music even further. The duo sings in a voice of its own, be it with original compositions, free improvisations, drawing upon a Bach cantata or an Argentine folk lament. Having internalized influences and repertoire the duo not only locate atmospheric and expressive connections among far-flung sources, but also create new music that reflects and refracts its inspirations.
