Keeping the music completely open or introducing collectively composed elements, the dialogue between Michael Thieke and Luigi Marino stems from improvisation and the most hidden details of sound: subtle metal resonances, breath before it turns into a note inside a clarinet, electronic sounds generated by DIY circuits and projected by the vibrations of the instruments themselves. Sounds barely audible emerge from the background to take a predominant role, depicting abstract suspended landscapes, or turning into simple melodies and rhythms. Quietly, nothing is out of reach.

The duo Thieke/Marino started in Berlin in 2016. They have since presented their music in Germany, the UK, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Spain, and Portugal playing in cult venues such as Sacred Realism (Berlin) and Rhiz (Vienna), or established series like Interpenetration (Graz), Sonoscopia (Porto), and WIM (Zurich). Their music was broadcast on Rai3 - Battiti (Italy), WGXC 90.7-FM: Radio for Open Ears (US), Outgrow Your Madness (France/Belgium), NTS Radio - The Trilogy Tapes (UK), The Wire - Adventures in Sound and Music (UK).
Their first release, Native Languages of Nowhere, was published in 2022 on Emergent Idioms.
