SAXOPHONE AND HARP
Anna Steinkogler &
Bastian Duncker
Strong, thoughtful storytelling, the clarity of classical polyphony, long lines, and a rhythmic playfulness are aspects that make the music of Anna Steinkogler, harp, and Bastian Duncker, alto saxophone, stand out.
Listen and learn from one another. This simple, yet profound wish has led Duncker and Steinkogler to an independent and poetic musical place which is governed by the ear.
The synergy of their rich musical heritages creates compositions full of warm sound and driving energy.

Both musicians share a fascination for probing the depths of their instruments, for experimenting with sound and playing techniques.

DUO OXYMORON
Anna Steinkogler &
Valentin Butt
Old and new. Light and dark. Chamber music and groove. Harp and accordion. The Berlin-based ensemble DUO OXYMORON creates an unconventional, colourful sound language, combining jazz, neoclassical and contemporary playing techniques.

Their love for freedom, their desire for experiments and their sense of houmor both musicians can revert to results in an independent sound universe. DUO OXYMORON treats any kind of music like chamber music in the truest sense of the concept: perfect ensemble playing, careful interaction, listening, trust. Feeling the same pulse makes the groove come alive regardless of the genre.
OXYMORON — opposites attract
From the very first moment Anna Steinkogler and Valentin Butt made music together, they felt a strong musical bond, and the exciting desire to create something powerful, enthralling and intensely emotional together. The juxtaposition of their instruments — harp and accordion — has never felt like antagonisms, on the contrary, they attract each other.
True musicianship and dedication are the keys to Steinkogler’s and Butt’s own compelling arrangements. The contrasting personalities of both musicians and instruments seem to blend into each other on stage, while maintaining their extreme positions. Their music is an organic and refreshing take on the encounter of the well-known and the new-found.
With their own compositions, DUO OXYMORON explores and expands their aesthetics. The lack of musical traditions or role models for their uncommon instrumentation allows Anna Steinkogler and Valentin Butt to develop their own individual musical language.
