(ENG)
Sound artist Gregor Siedl and drummer Nicolas Chkifi have been a close-knit duo for many years with a common drive for improvisational music.

The duo brings to audiences their second release with humanized electronics and beastly batting. Whilst Nicolas has a deep rooting in jazz, African rhythms and a tendency for yoga extravaganza, Gregor´s background is in sound art, contemporary music, Marxist philosophy and botanophilia.

The bandname DOKO is based on a Japanese word that can be translated to the exclamation : « Where ? » and pinpoints the essence of their sonic ventures.

It is in the momentum of searching - navigating the unknown and finding unexpected places - that the spirit of the music finds it´s meaning and enchants the most.
