duo-mono-lith: Boris Hegenbart & David Moss, premiered in 2016 in Berlin’s BKA Club.

Hegenbart and Moss were destined to create this new duo.  They met each other repeatedly in Berlin since the early ‘90s at concerts, exhibitions and festivals; and spoke about an imagined collaboration.
Since its 2016 premiere  duo-mono-lith has created a performance program that binds, and then releases, metal, wood, mixers, mouth, microphones/megaphones, machinery and meditative mystery into the microscopic/macroscopic lithosphere.

Hegenbart is an expert in recombining the human voice, acoustic instruments and electronic sounds.  He delves into the vibratory protoplasm of audio events, and recasts the organic machinery into jumping audio enigmas.
Moss is widely known for his powerful vocal performances. He magically transforms his voice through the most extreme yet intimate forms — casting the world’s air into inexplicable songs and human chants.

 Two travelers in the world of sound.
