​

Jacques Demierre and Anouck Genthon's duo work is poetic and musical.

They perform pieces influenced by European experimental sound poetry and by the vocal and instrumental poetic tuareg tradition. 

​Both voice and violin draw on the poetic expression of speech and on the sung poetry with the accompaniment of the anzad ( tuareg one string fiddle from the Niger ).

Together they play a heterophonic soundscape of voice and strings, an intense and clear interweaving verbal and musical stuff, where sounds, breaths, frictions, silences, vowels and consonants trace their own way.
