Blechtrommel is interested in understanding the interpreter's role on the creation of the musical work. With a very thorough reflection on performance practice and the direction of contemporary creation the duo works on extremes that range from nearly improvised music to deeply complex notated scores while always trying to bring out the core energy of each performed piece.
