Lucija Gregov and Bernat Boronat formed a new duo project in which they further explore improvisation, extended techniques, multiphonics, drones and ways in which cello and bass clarinet come together, often sounding as one instrument, only to gradually drift apart and occupy a distinctive sonic space of one’s own.
Lucija is a cellist, improviser, composer and programmer. She has been developing projects and researching in the fields of classical music, electro acoustic music, improvisation, experimental music, radio and sound art.
Through many interdisciplinary collaborations, Lucija seeks to push the boundaries of traditional cello playing which further extend her interpretation, technique and ideas.
Her instrumental cello practice is a starting point of the sonic exploration through which over time she disintegrated traditional techniques in order to discover a more personal and sincere sound aesthetic.
Bernat Boronat (Alzira-Valencia) is a clarinetist and improviser based in Rotterdam, with a
dedicated focus on exploring extended techniques and new sounds within the bass clarinet and other non-conventional instruments. In his solo work, he dives into the intersection of instrumental sound and the human body, aiming to understand and harness their connection. Bernat pays attention to the inherent qualities of the instrument, enabling them to unfold naturally through assistance rather than rigid control. He does so by using and exploring extended techniques within his instruments.
