The two guitarists met while they were both signed to the Australian avant-garde label Ramble Records. As they talked on Instagram, they wanted to play music together, so they travelled, Julien to Finland and Heikki to Belgium, bringing different cultures and influences together, but also realizing they have a lot in common. Both studied classical music and traditional jazz before entering the improvisational music world and both share a musical vision.
In their music, the concrete and the abstract can co-exist at each moment. Melodic lines are combined with atonal sounds for an organic and exploratory approach to the acoustic guitar. Just like life itself, the music of this duo is full of both beauty and beast. And, just like the players, it has a playful sense of humor to it.
"The duo emerges as natural storytellers, leaving behind any form of exaggerated machismo." - Jazzenzo
