Amelia Cuni's multi-faceted voice and Werner Durand's sensitive playing merge into a unique whole instantly capturing the listener's ear. They build on their long-lasting collaboration and in-depth research in Western and Eastern musical traditions to develop their various influences into a stunning presentation. Together they share the desire to explore borderlands in their music combining experience with experiment.

Amelia Cuni's singing draws from the rich heritage of dhrupad, the oldest form of North Indian music. She uses ragas and Indian vocal techniques in a distinct way, integrating her Italian roots and her diverse collaborations with internationally renowned musicians. Her voice is powerful and soothing, moving and hypnotic. Her singing has been praised in the national press of India, Europe and USA.

Werner Durand has created self-made wind instruments of various materials, played with different embouchures, circular breathing and digital delays. He has developed his own style and playing techniques which may evoke different traditions of world music. His minimalist approach interacts with Amelia's Indian musical language.

The program for this duo concert includes arrangements of traditional Indian pieces and original compositions from the suite ASHTAYAMA-Song of Hours, the CD DRUMMING BREATH as well as several new works.

Amelia Cuni and Werner Durand also have their own solo projects on Magnatune.
