Leipzig-based guitarist Steffi Narr understood her instrument early on as a field of experimentation for free improvisation, on which she knows how to shape her individual artistic expression. It has always been important to her to enter into a creative exchange with like-minded people and to understand and stage the resulting artistic work as a collective endeavour. Her collaboration with Berlin drummer Oliver Steidle began in 2021 at the Leipzig Jazz Days. Together with VJ and performance artist Saou TV, Narr has transformed this duo into an interdisciplinary, audiovisual laboratory. With her partners, she explores new, often as yet unheard sounds by alienating the sound possibilities of her guitar and contrasts this with Steidle’s rhythmically differentiated playing, while Saou TV shapes this acoustic event as a visual work of art that the three of them transform ad hoc into a piece of sonic art in the creative process of improvisation.
