   About Selinger/Mazunik
Winners of the prestigious 2004 Wolfgang Deppen award, this duo was recently disinvited from the Bautzen Festival for "...extreme deviations from the score" (-Die Leipzig Tageszeitung). Their live compositions reconnect classical music to its roots in improvisation. Sitting down at their instruments with a germ of an idea, they instantly whip up first themes, second themes, and wild developments which often modulate on the turn of a century. From Albéniz to Xenakis, various composers inform and inspire their original works.

that's what music was and should always be: constantly evolving, moving and self-questioning... in one word: alive.

thx for this invitation to the true essence of so-called "classical".

Very Beautiful!

Not for the first time I find that modern acts like your selves are blurring (probably unintentionally) the lines between musical genres.

As I listened to Fantasy, I could hear in my head a quiet female jazz vocal weaving through your phrasing.

Keep exploring, I think you have many more musical places to discover.

And explore one or two of my tunes if you get the chance! (That was the plug bit)

All the best

Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace.
