Shuoxin Tan (Beijing, China) and Natalia Molina (Bogotá, Colombia) have been playing in various spaces and architectural settings in Cologne and Düsseldorf since the end of December 2021. As composer-performers, they attempt to work between composition and improvisation – in a transition from the calculated to the unforeseen.

Six documentary recordings of their rehearsals were selected for this album:
Tracks a1, a3, and b2 relate to their research and practice on psychoacoustics and physicality. In these the concept was to perform on a certain frequency with certain physical movements, which could be transcribed into notation.

Tracks a2, b1, and b3 are the recordings of their live improvisations, without any predetermined framework or instruction. The listener cannot precisely define the sound sources or the means of sound generation, but finds themselves in another reality relative to their own, on a dream voyage.
