Duo Unwucht is made up of two young musicians, two individual players, who create a paradoxically balanced listening experience from the charm of difference and the "disturbances" of their improvised music. The name "Unwucht" is a metaphor for the imbalances of a perfectly constructed machine.
Christopher Kunz studied Bachelor Jazz Saxophone at the HfM Nuremberg with Prof. Steffen Schorn, Prof. Klaus Graf, Hubert Winter and Stefan Karl Schmid and completed his Master's degree at the HMT Leipzig with Prof. Johannes Enders and Prof. Michael Wollny with distinction.
Florian Fischer studied social work in Coburg and Nuremberg before taking up music studies at the HfM Nuremberg in 2014 and graduating in 2019.
During this time, he won the Bruno Rother Jazz Prize and was awarded the Deutschlandstipendium scholarship. He then studied jazz at the Berlin University of the Arts.
Press comment:
In English, "the unbalance" means "imbalance", and the joke, whether intentional or not, is that the two musicians are actually in perfect balance at all times. Throughout the seven tracks, all created spontaneously in a single take, the relationship between Kunz and Fischer is deeply symbiotic; not, as the cliché often puts it, psychologically, but in that they listen to each other attentively at all times and respond accordingly. There is a give and take, but neither musician ever tries to dictate the other's direction.
