In this encounter violinist Katt Hernandez and vocalist Sarah Buchner, are presenting their own approach towards the the undisguised character of playing Duo with voice and strings. Through conventional and more extended techniques they aim to create multi-faceted worlds of sound. Sharing a fascination for playing on the line between introverted and intense, the improvisers search common and unknown in each others playing.

Katt Hernandez is a composer, improvisor, violinist, producer and artistic researcher. She moved to Stockholm in 2010, and rapidly began working with  many artists and new music organizations. In addition to solo violin work, she  co-founded The Schematics and Deuterium Quartet, and has worked with a  host of musicians and others in Europes's improvised, electronic and  experimental music and sound art scenes. After earning a Masters degree in composition from Sweden's Royal College of Music, she began a PhD in Music at Lund university in 2015, and was also employed at the Royal College of Music as part of Klas Nevrin's 3-year research project Music in Disorder. She is currently in the Fire! Orchestra, led by Mats Gustafsson, as well as Lotte Anker's research project Sub-Habitat at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in  Copenhagen. Her work has been featured on festivals, series, museums, conferences and radio stations throughout the world. Before leaving the U.S.,  Katt was a 13 year veteran of experimental music scenes on the east coast, where she worked with a vast array of musicians, dancers, visual artists, puppeteers, film makers and performance artists, in venues ranging from underground urban art spaces to ivy league concert halls.

Sarah Buchner is an experimental vocalist, improviser and composer based in Copenhagen. Her work is a sonic fragmentation of human expression. She generates her sound through exploring acoustic spheres past common singing techniques, as well as de-contextualizing sounds of daily non-verbal communication - building a sonic monologue from sparse punctualism to multi-layered sound. Her playful, yet destructive approach to aesthetic expectations towards vocals, is a result of artistic self radicalization and joy. Occasionally she uses various flutes and objects as extensions of her resonance body. Her practice includes collaborational and cross-disciplinary work in the form of sound- and contextual installations, as well as puppetry. In recent time her work was shown at the Thorvaldsen Museum Copenhagen, as part of Lübecker Kultur Funke* and the Artist in Residence program “Künstlerstadt Kalbe” and the Detect Classic Festival. 

Hobby Horse is a progressive/experimental/crossover jazz trio based in Italy, figurehead of the rapidly developing new Italian jazz scene, but equally comfortable playing underground rock venues and dance clubs. During 10 years of intense activity they have released 6 records to widespread critical acclaim and their touring schedule has seen them performing in important festivals and clubs throughout Europe and North America including Umbria Jazz, Jazzwerkstatt Graz, Sudtirol Jazz Festival, Ton Art Tirol, InJazz,
Skylark Chicago, Jazz Estate Milwaukee and Ausland Berlin.
Their music is a wildly unpredictable mix of styles, a melting pot of musical languages ranging from slam poetry to techno to psychedelic bossanova, prog rock, hip-hop and chamber music. Passing from hypnotic drones to violent explosions of noise, they manage to maintain an underlying sense of balance, shared exploration and discovery, sculpting their sets into an overarching form which maintains artistic coherence despite (or perhaps due to) the drastic contrasts it contains.
