DUO VALCIC PREUSCHL "VELVET"

More than once, the cellist and bassist have rehearsed and performed together with the bass ukulele to explore new and essential aspects in the realm of deep frequencies.

Asja Valcic has gained extensive experience with the cello, an instrument with a remarkable range and pronounced registers, as an orchestral and chamber musician as well as a soloist, which she incorporates into her works as a composer.

Raphael Preuschl has played through all music styles with all deep string instruments and excellently applies his functional playing in jazz and his solo activities in his compositions. The new album "Velvet" documents the collaboration of two individuals who artistically reflect on the world and life, developing emotions that are expressed in the compositions and their joint performance. Noteworthy are the richness of themes, stylistic diversity, and competent interpretation. Everything that is said, sung, and danced with the instruments is understandable and emotionally accurate. Tone production, phrasing, rhythmic precision, and dynamics are always committed to the musical content. Additionally, the sound distinguishes the two bass instruments even in complex passages.
