In their project "The Answer is no" Maja Osojnik and Ursula Winterauer use the same sound sources - voice, electric bass and sampler. This conscious choice creates a live situation that creates an exciting mirroring on a visual and sonic level. Their goal is to explore, expand and deconstruct the sonic possibilities of their instruments, entering into an intense dialogue in the process. In their joint project, the musicians and composers Maja Osojnik and Ursula Winterauer move skilfully in the border area between analog and digital sounds and between virtual and real spaces.

Maja Osojnik works as a singer, composer, improvising electroacoustic musician, sound artist, producer, mostly using voice, paetzold bass recorders, field recordings, DJ-CDs, tapes and other lo-fi electronic devices, toys, trash and found objects. Maja made a name for herself in different musical fields, such as early music, contemporary, experimental, electronic, jazz, free improvisation, sound art and heavier music. Moving in limbo between analogue and digital art, virtual and real spaces, she tries to expand, deconstruct and reinterpret the tonal spectra of mentioned instruments and to assign them new roles – a process reminiscent of building anagrams. She composes music for dance, theater, film, radio plays, sound installations and various ensembles. In Addition to teaching composition and free improvisation she runs the Label Mamka Records, dedicated to the publication of high quality self-produced sound recordings in small hand-made/printed series. Her art, solo performances, works and formations, ao. Rdeča Raketa, ZSAMM, Broken.Heart.Collector, All.The.Terms.We.Are, Maja Osojnik Band, Subshrubs, Low Frequency Orchestra etc. were presented at various international festivals.
