Duos

Duo with Dietmar Bonnen

"satiesfactory", "music in the shape of a pear", and other concert programs

Marei Seuthe, cello, voice, musical saw

Dietmar Bonnen, piano, toy piano, organa, kalimba, steel drum

Within their Dadaistic and surrealistic projects Marei Seuthe and Dietmar Bonnen explore compositions by Erik Satie and connect them to pieces by John Cage and other avantgarde composers, but also to medieval and improvised music. Moreover, they combine some parts of this concert program with live painting and live video performances. The two musicians do not simply play written compositions,they rather play with them so that various compositional principles are mixed in an inspiring collage technique.
