In 2011 Lukas Mantel and Vincent Membrez discovered their deep musical complicity. With much calmness and long stamina, both improvisors use the inexhaustible sound possibilities of piano and percussion as a guiding principle of their work. Mantel-Membrez follow a clear path in their improvisations and compositions on which they are calmly guided by the lead of their own music. Balancing the alchemy of sound and silence, defining the temperature and density of a moment, they reach a solidified, coherent piece of music. Their first record STONE is a direct, contemplative but very clear statement, which stands calmly in our busy and noisy environment.
