Nimikry
Grown up as classical instrumentalists, with an extensive training in composition, as well as contemporary sound art, we are devoted to perform on stage and present various concert programs featuring both our own music and music composed for our instrumentarium.
We direct our attention on music featuring electronics or multi-media as an integral element of the composition.
Arranging, adapting and re-integrating contemporary music, as well as classical masterpieces of the 20th-century to todays technological standards is for us also of great importance.
