Samo Kutin

Slovenian multi-instrumentalist Samo Kutin (1982) is comprehensively devoted to research and manipulate the various potentials of his main instrument, the hurdy-gurdy, in the field of free improvisation. In extreme acoustic dimensions – from silent noise to loud drones, from soft blows to unbearable screeches – he is using unconventional preparations and extreme amplification, handling both contact microphones and acoustic resonators. Runs regular international duos with Jean-Luc Guionnet, Daichi Yoshikawa, Boris Baltschun, Lee Patterson, and most recently with Martin Küchen.
