VO is an ensemble consisting of Rieko Okuda (J) and Antti Virtaranta (FI) created in 2010 as an outlet for the two to play purely instinctual music. VO is an ensemble focusing primarily on instant composition but original pieces are a big part of the group. With the addition of the monotron the group has the chance to explore new ways to compose in a live setting, even create new sounds on their instrument. Antti and Rieko have been working together since 2009 and continue to push each other further with compositions, live and written.
Born in Montreal, Stéphane Martineau works in the film industry for 20 years and has not ceased to live in different countries across the Globe since then. He came back to Berlin in 2008 where he finds his most profound inspirations in order to continue to perform musically and artistically. He sings and composes with his computer atmospheric experimental jazz chansons and sings surrealistic and oneiric texts. He collaborates with the upright bassist Antti Virtaranta to interpret his songs live. Each performance is unique, improvised in a way for him to explore and to go deeper in his own universe and to reveal it to new publics in different context.
