KvT

In collaboration with SPEKTRUM

KvT (Kata Kovács and Tom O’Doherty) are a duo based in Berlin, who shape ephemeral soundscapes from the overlapping churn of individually-simple elements. They layer resonance, repetition, movement, and memory — combining iterated fragments of voice, trumpet, and bass.

This stripped-down palette allows for a singular focus on the worlds of sound that can be layered and stitched together from voices, fragments, loops, layered resonance, and emergent drone — all undertaken with hand-carried amplifiers, allowing for a spatialised, context-aware live presentation that never repeats in the same way.

This concert is put together with creative space SPEKTRUM where KvT has been showcasing their durational installation Minute/Year.
