Katharina Grosse and Stefan Schneider first met while studying fine arts at Dusseldorf Art Academy in the early 1990s and remained friends as their creative paths deviated, resulting in a series of live performances, sound installations and also two albums—Tiergarten (2017) and Permanent Parts (2024)—both of which celebrate musical experimentation, largely eschewing rhythm in favour of a thoroughly improvised forage through abstract clusters of sound.

For this performance they are joined by Carina Khorkhordina on trumpet, and Farida Amadou on bass guitar, to pursue a curious sense of development, where several elements are allowed to exist alongside each other, not in direct contact but in a mode that's somewhere between carefree layering and unconscious juxtaposition.
