About Me

after years of diving into different styles of music and singing with very different musicians such as bela butono, syncope, cloinc, of studying philosophy and working in all kinds of environments, of djing in bars and letting her voice freestyle over what she heard, after, then, losing her voice and regaining it, violetta parisini went to new york for her idea of a time out, lost herself in the city and in the course of some months found herself again, gathered her thoughts and things and came back to vienna. there, she met florian cojocaru at a party, thought and asked about doing a song together? he said yes, and a few weeks and different phone-calls later, they sat with the two syncope-brothers max&philipp thomasberger and the guitar player severin trogbacher in a studio and tried to find out if the music they had in mind could possibly fit together... which it now does, after many written and re-written and thrown away and thought-of-again songs... florian and violetta mostly work on their music together, and from violetta’s love for demanding lyrics and intuited melodies and florian’s one for complex harmonies and catchy phrases, the songs evolve..
