Natascha Nikeprelevic and Michael Vetter are known for connecting harmonics with an intensely physical language of spontaneous musical communication for the purpose of a post modern synthesis. For many people the union of „the simply beautiful“ and „the truly unheard“ yields a surprising new access to that wich may be called music today.

POLES for 2 (Stockhausen) at Tonhalle Zürich, Suisse (Oct. 2008)
„POLES for 2“ demands a kind of dialogue which assumes that there are polar opposite positions. In consequece the interpreters have to get involved into musical extremes to really explore accustically the whole range of their existence. In so far as everything occurs structurally in a musical sense, there is no „right“ and „wrong“, but only „plus“ and „minus“. And in fact the notation of the piece consists, primarily, of plus signs and minus signs, wich have to be operated in any combination and sequence on all parametres“ (Michael Vetter)
Zen-Musik –Scene 3: Moon and Nightingale at Kreuzkirche Bonn (February 2007)
Duet for voice and recorder
Natascha Nikeprelevic and Michael Vetter are considered masters of improvisation and can be heard as an artist duo for more than 10 years with their archaic-experimental music – „moon and nightingale“ points once again what can be a musical dialogue.
Okyo at Kreuzkirche Bonn (Februar 2007)
They are virtuoso at overtone singing. With their program „Okyo“ they show the sound dimensions between phonetic and instrumental overtone aspects.
No Noh at Kreuzkirche Bonn (February 2007)
The Vocal-Duet derive inspiration in their program „No Noh“ on the one hand from contemporary new music, on the other hand, from the music and the theatrical art of Japan. The newspaper Neue Züricher Zeitung called their art „at the same time neodadaistic and Far Eastern inclined“.
