Nucleus

The search for the essence, the core of things: both singer Filippa Gojo and saxophonist Stephan Mattner set themselves this task early on in their respective musical development. So it was only a matter of time before the two Cologne-based musicians continued this exploration together. On the one hand reduced to voice and soprano saxophone, on the other enhanced by the targeted use of effects and computer sounds, the Nucleus duo unites precisely this: reduction to the essential in combination with the abstract, the not quite tangible. The relationships between the levels are also in constant flux: sometimes the elements stand out clearly from one another, separate unmistakably into accompaniment and melody, electronics and acoustics, sometimes they blend together without any audible separation.
