The musical paths of Peter Herbert and Josef Novotny repeatedly crossed in various projects. A silent agreement in the interplay was suspicious every time, as if there were inner metronomes that are synchronized with each other wirelessly and wordlessly. This vague assumption had to be verified: at some point there should be certainty! So it was inevitable to create this duo sooner or later.

Stylistically there are no taboos - the musicians, who are well versed in many genres, allow each other to go in any direction at any time. Mixing styles is risky, but similar to toxic substances, whether the effect is healing, intoxicating, or deadly is a matter of dose. The extremes are rather unlikely, only staying in the middle could get boring. Conclusion: What is needed is courage in one direction and naivety in the other.

In prolifics, Peter Herbert and Josef Novotny show that virtuosity does not only consist of playing as many notes as possible in a short time. It doesn’t matter whether there are many or few tones, the key is to get things straight to the point: precision in free improvisation? Possibly. But: all this is not a concept, but something that happens by itself when the two musicians play together.
