about

"A qué le llaman distancia
Eso me habrán de explicar.
Sólo están lejos las cosas
Que no sabemos mirar."
Atahualpa Yupanqui

"La Plume Du Dimanche" is the name of the album by Berlin violinist Fabiana Striffler with Parisian cellist Karsten Hochapfel. The two musicians share the same weakness for improvisation, psychedelic folk, jazz, experimental music, but also for a simple song and the beauty of a melody. In "La Plume Du Dimanche", the two musicians move outside of classical patterns in an almost carefree and intuitive way, searching for a common form of expression without getting caught up in the maelstrom of the high culture of their respective instruments that has developed over the centuries. They are interested in unconventional approaches to questions of a musical and social nature. The internationally established duo experiences music as an energy of life, as a playground, as a place of new discoveries and as an opportunity to experience and facilitate encounters. The violinist moved to Paris for six months in 2022. The album created at this time documents the beginning of their collaboration and makes us look forward to further releases.
