STIMMHORN

Stimmhorn, the musical duo from Basle, specialise in a quite unique form of artistic expression based on the delicate balance between the human voice and archaic wind instruments. The contrasting sounds of the song of the alpenhorn, a-semantic singing, rich harmonies, fascinating overtones and silence are brought together onto the stage in a playful atmosphere characterised by its theatrics, humour and sensitivity. Past and present meet on a quest for something new to create previously unheard musical seismograms imbued with originality.

Stimmhorn’s mythical musical style tells of the hidden depths of the human body and ancient and undisturbed landscapes. Throughout this artistic exploration of both external and internal spheres of resonance, the unbridled human voice meets the hazy tone sculptures of the horn and the phenomenal heights of overtone singing meet the incredible depths of the alpenhorn.

On stage, Stimmhorns acoustic compositions take on a visual aspect and are represented in a simple but accurate style. Using symbolic and actionistic elements, the spectator is drawn into the world of the two performers and through their musical dialogue makes new discoveries of outer and inner worlds, looks in on imaginary spheres of forgotten sensitivities and unimaginable histories from the tangible mysteries of the topos and the corpus..
