A really unique sound made by the combination of the cello and classical guitar, warm, romantic and other times strong and dynamic.

The compositions are a combination of jazz, ethnic and classical music.

Strong melodic lines, atmospheric background textures and improvisation from both instruments are creating a very contemporary,new sound.
