'Magda MAYAS and Christine ABDELNOUR  SEHNAOUI both play acoustic music that is diametral, a space they conquered by changing the traditional ways of their instruments: modern alchemy. Together they express a strong physical experience. MAYAS is a master of sparse fragments of motion and SEHNAOUI works in a flux of changing sounds. The multiple layers of their performance create a shivering moment of existence, which reminds me of the words of the Danish artist Malene Bach: 'Art finds its own relevance in forming the alternative space, where utopias, dreams, intentions and everything, that we cannot agree exists, can articulate itself and take place.' Thomas Millroth. Recorded in April 2009 in Berlin, Pappelallee 5. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Tony Buck. All music by ABDELNOUR SEHNAOUI & MAYAS. Text by Thomas Millroth.
