Duo Sonoma stands for a crossover of many genres, combined to create stylistically limitless, expressive and imaginative sound worlds. Their musical journey began in childhood and developed over 20 years into a unique ensemble.
Having grown up with a wide range of musical backgrounds, the two musicians are always open to new things and their enthusiasm is reflected in the different styles. Making music together has been an important part of family life since childhood and so the sisters have developed musically over 20 years and, as Duo Sonoma, have refined this unique interplay with their own sound and compositions.
The music of Duo Sonoma is characterized by an intensive engagement with different playing techniques and sounds, which leads to a distinctive musical expression. Their composing process is characterized by an improvisational approach and the processing of personal experiences. Spontaneous ideas and emotional experiences flow into their music, often inspired by Carinthian-Slovenian melodies.
This diversity is reflected in a multifaceted musical dialogue, which is characterized by the synthesis of their musical backgrounds and training. Each piece is unique and unmistakable in its structure. The further development of the common sound and their musical identity is clearly reflected in their music. With their new album “II”, presented in July 2024, they continue on this path and combine classical instruments with new sounds, which contributes to a rhythmic diversity and a distinctive sound.
