Sara Käser and Natalie Peters play their music uncompromisingly, unconventionally, and uniquely. They improvise and, through their spontaneous expression, create a flow between conscious and unconscious realities. Between dream and heightened alertness, they resonate with their immediate conditions and surroundings while also creating contrasts that highlight their clear positions and artistic solutions. Their musical language initially seems closely tied to their personalities, yet it dissolves in the interplay of influences and aesthetic visions, releasing entirely new dynamics. Their sound textures are wild and fragile, simple and complex at the same time, always permeated by an inner breath that carries and evolves the ephemeral nature of their music. It is a search for the wondrous, a sense of wonder that turns every moment into an intense experience while simultaneously encouraging the listener to let go of what has just been experienced.

Sara Käser:
is a freelance cellist and music educator based in Wiesenberg, Nidwalden. She specializes in contemporary and experimental music, both as an improviser and interpreter. Throughout her care, she has collaborated with various artists, ensembles, and bands, including Stimmenfeuer, Ensemble der Dinge (theater), Natalie Peters (voice duo), Ensemble Nachhall and Ensemble Sargo.
Käser completed her Master degree at Arts in Music at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts including attendance at the Darmstädter Ferienkurs für Neue Musik und Donaueschingen Musiktage. In collaboration with author Noëmi Lerch, Käser formed the duo Käser & Lerch, which was honored as Pro Argovia Artists. Their performances intertwine music and text, exploring themes of traditional craftsmanship, passion, and love. Käser's artistic journey is marked by her exploration of the cello's expressive possibilities, her interest in the healing and transformative power of music, and her commitment to blending genres and crossing artistic boundaries.

Natalie Peters:
is an improvised music vocalist, performer and curator who explores the human voice in its simplest and most extravagant forms of expression. The spontaneous, unpredictable and playful nature of improvised music allows her to find a vivid artistic expression that brings to consciousness the surreal, intangible side of human existence. In her music, she seeks presence and a natural communication that allows for unconventional and surprising possibilities and explores boundaries. Listening to a human voice inevitably brings us into contact with it and allows us to reason within our own bodies, because every muscle has a memory of its biological function. Natalie tries to merge music and life into a story that is not there to be decoded, but to address deeper human mysteries. In her solo concerts, she creates a presence that plays with temporal notions through direct resonance with her environment, audience and herself. For her, remembering, forgetting, visions and conditions are states that she carefully touches and reintegrates into consciousness through the unusual but precise use of her voice. Her current projects are the duo Sara Käser / Natalie Peters, the duo Sebi Tramontana/ Natalie Peters, the quartet SYNC and the ensemble Sous-Sol, which she leads in Locarno. She has performed at festivals such as Archipel Festival Genève, La Fête a Bruit, Biel, Performance Festival Oerlikon, Zurich, Filmpodium Zurich, BangBang Social Elegance, Museum Tinguelly Basel, etc. She works continuously in various projects with artists and collectives such as Sebastian Strinning, Sofia Borges, Klaus Janek, Jacek Chmiel, Yara Li Mennel, Sebi Tramontana, Sara Käser, Thomas Rohrer, Marina Tantanozi, Alfred Zimmerlin, Heike Fiedler, Amin Alavi, Caroline Tallone, PANCH, Collettivo Conserere, Casa Stanata and others. As a curator, she organises the music series ‘Frequenze Libere’ in Locarno. She is the initiator of the cultural association and artist network Carovana091.
