Yolanda Uriz (flutes) and Ángel Faraldo (live electronics) started playing together in January 2007. Since then, they have been exploring different ways to relate to each other through free improvisation. Currently, they are working in the creation of a bidirectional interactive system, where both could have the same possibilities to influence and control the other's materials. They have presented they work in The Hague, Utrecht, Madrid, A Coruña, Santiago de Compostela, Bilbao and Athens. Their first release, Villa Ockenburg (2008), is downloadable for free from the net-label Larraskito (www.xedh.org/larraskito). Besides their work in duet, they collaborate frequently with other improvisers in trio and quartet settings (Lynn Cassiers [BE], Orlando Aguilar [MX], Érica Zisa [AR], Pedro Rato [PT]...). They are both members of The Hague Improvisers Orchestra.
