Lower half black and white shows two smiling figures, one taller than the other, stood in front of a peeling wooden wall. Upper half, information in red and white text on black, with two images of the window and labium of a wooden recorder, plus an image of a shiny orange-red bead or berry on an olive green cloth.

Teresa Hackel, born in Berlin and based in Switzerland, and Eiko Yamada, born in Tokyo and based in Germany, have known each other for about twenty years. As free improvising musicians, each sought her own way of expressing herself, and each discovered her own colours in the recorder.

Playing the same familiar instrument created a connection between them; after having entertained the idea of a collaboration for a long time, they have now been working together for 6 years.

Their explorations as a purely acoustic recorder duo creating a form together with special playing techniques - and without any electronic effects is absolutely unique and boggles the ears
