A woman, a man. A voice, an acoustic guitar. Nothing else. What does it sound like when everything is stripped down to the essentials? Simply wonderful. Wonderfully simple.
Singer Sandie Wollasch, guitarist Matthias Hautsch. They complement each other in a unique way. Sandie’s captivating voice conjures up an emotive atmosphere. Matthias shines with multifaceted sounds and breathtaking tempos. Together, they caress the heart and soul. They bring even the most expansive songs from large ensembles to the stage and reinterpret them in surprising new ways with their minimalist instrumentation. Add to that gems of their own composition that command attention and shatter musical boundaries—literally.
Alexandra Lehmler and Matthias Debus have shared a close musical partnership for 25 years. As TANDEM, the saxophonist and bassist focus on the immediate power of the duo: direct communication, openness to improvisation, and an interplay of great intensity and intimacy.
Their music moves between lyrical soundscapes, rhythmic energy, and free improvisation—contemporary jazz with warmth, depth, and great narrative power. Two strong musical voices that, through their collaboration, find their own distinctive language.
