ruído blanco

paulo amendoeira | martín sanhueza

ruído blanco is a duo based in Bern featuring Martín Sanhueza (guitars) and Paulo Amendoeira (percussion). Crossing their paths at the Hochschule der Künste Bern, they soon began to build a repertoire of both written and improvised music, with the aim of combining both worlds in a single concept.

During their studies, the duo received coaching from Brian Archinal, Antoine Françoise, Elena Casoli, Olivier Vivares, João Carlos Pacheco, Tom de Cock and Yaron Deutsch.

They focus on developing new repertoire for the duo working close to young composers, as well as having deep interest in existing repertoire from the last few decades. It is in the fundamental interest of the duo to blur the lines between composer-performer roles, thus assuming themselves as co-creators of new pieces.

For the season 25/26, the duo projects concerts featuring music by Sarah Nemtsov, and premieres by Michael Maierhof, Ilona Perger, Tamara Miller and Jorge Villoslada Durán.
