Guitarist Jens-Uwe Popp and mandolinist Jochen Roß began their musical collaboration in 1997. Since then, they have taken a musical journey from Scottish folklore to works of the 20th century, and they remain fascinated by the new soundscapes these styles offer their instruments. For this album, they have put together a selection of pieces that capture the essence and spirit of their work together—their shared curiosity and open-minded approach to music from different styles and time periods. Only three takes of each piece were recorded in order to capture the most spontaneous and unique moments of their musical dialogue.
