Robyn Schulkowsky was born in Eureka, South Dakota, USA. She has lived in Germany since 1980, first as a student and an assistant to Christoph Caskel in Cologne, then as a premiere percussionist of new music, taking part in the major contemporary music festivals throughout Europe. Schulkowsky has worked with composers such as John Cage, Mauricio Kagel, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Kevin Volans, Christian Wolff, Luigi Nono and Walter Zimmermann, among others. She recorded works of Cage, Feldman, and Nono. Schulkowsky is also active as a composer and improviser. S, both as a soloist and on the free jazz scene, notably with Derek Bailey. She organized a series of festivals at the Neue Pinakotheke in Munich around the music of Cage, Feldman and Wolff, also a 24-hour concert of percussion music with performers from around the world for the 2000 World's Fair in Hannover, Germany. Recently, she premiered works by Christian Wolff, Rebecca Saunders, Tigran Mansurian, and Wolfgang Rihm, to name a few and released a recording on ECM with Kim Kashkashian and music by Luciano Berio. At the Munich Musiktheater Biennial in 2002 she collaborated with Lukas Kuehne to create a new percussion instrument, known as the Baers.

Born in Baden, Reinhold Friedrich studied at the Musikhochschule Karlsruhe, where he meanwhile holds a professorship. Since winning German public TV's international ARD competition in Munich in 1986, he gives concerts on the important podiums of the national and international music scene. As a soloist, he works with ensembles like the Berliner Barock-Solisten as well as the chamber orchestras of Basel, Vienna and Zurich. Furthermore, Reinhold Friedrich played among others with the Bamberger Symphoniker, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and the Radio Symphony Orchestra of the NDR under the baton of such renowned conductors like Claudio Abbado, Semyon Bychkov, Paolo Carignani, Dennis Russel-Davies, Peter Etvs, Eliahu Inbal, Ingo Metzmacher, Jonathan Nott, Kashu Ono and Hans Zender. In addition to his appearances as a soloist, Reinhold Friedrich also plays chamber music alongside partners like Thomas Duis (piano), Martin Lcker (organ), Albrecht Mayer (oboe), Thomas Quasthoff (bass) and Ruth Ziesak (soprano). An important aspect of his projects is the interpretation of the works of comtemporary composers such as Benedict Mason, Johannes Caspar Walther, Rebecca Saunders, Herbert Willi or Wolfgang Rihm. Schulkowsky and Friedrich play together since 1998 when they decided to join their talents in a duo dedicated to contemporary , new music and improvisation.
