"Elisabeth Harnik, an Austrian based pianist and composer has created a multi-faceted body of work by blurring genre boundaries through various collaborations in the field of improvised music, interdisciplinary projects and contemporary compositional works. She studied classical piano and later -- with Beat Furrer -- composition at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Graz. As an improviser she works within an electro-acoustic inspired sound-world, using specific preparations and extended techniques while pushing the limitations of the piano. Amongst others she has collaborated with Frank Gratkowski, Sainkho Namtchylak, Dave Rempis and Michael Zerang, Joelle Leandre, and Ken Vandermark. Udo Schindler is a German musician in the improv scene playing bass clarinet, sax, flute, cornet, accordion, guitar and drums. In the 1970s he first appeared as a rock and rock-jazz musician before studying flute Nuremberg conservatory. Afterwards, he studied architecture in Munich and worked as an architect. In the 1990s he began playing an important role in New Music and Improvised Music. Next to his musical activities he also worked as a director, actor and composes soundtrack music for the theatre. In Munich, he also initiated a series of improvised music concerts. This is the first recording by this German-Austrian duo."
