In this new duo, Joaquin Ortega and Daniel Bierdümpfl explore musical dialogue through the guitar. As two guitarists with different approaches to the instrument, they create a unique conversation shaped by contrast, curiosity, and collaboration. Their music moves between written structures and spontaneous interaction, in which rhythmic counterpoint and noise function as organizing elements that generate spaces of tension, overlap, and exchange.

Joaquin Ortega (Argentina/France) Argentin musician based in France, Joaquín Ortega explores the connections between guitar, electronic devices, and field recordings. His work draws inspiration from bodily movement and contemporary musical languages. Alongside his instrumental practice, he also develops projects involving installations and dance.
