Whether it’s a lyrical ballad or an upbeat, swinging piece, Folker and Jelske move through the music with ease and evident joy. Although they perform as a duo, listening to them feels like hearing a full band.
Their music seeks to capture the elusive, non-verbal conversation that improvising musicians share—something they explore both in their compositions and in their playing. The intimate setting they create is a deliberate counterpoint to today’s fast-paced society, where everything demands speed and instant results. Folker and Jelske choose depth and sustainability instead: depth in the way their instruments merge, allowing them to make a shared musical statement each time. They think long term—choosing not the easy path, but the one that comes from the heart and creates the greatest musical impact.
