Martin Philadelpy
is a composer, guitarist, songwriter, improvisational artist, and experimental musician.
Dora Bleu is a composer, storyteller and experimental musician working in the dreamlike, uneven, and intimate, exploring the geopowers of the psyche. Together they work between composition and improvisation interweaving narrative and song, theater, poetry, guitar work and drone. 

Philadelpy composes songs and instrumental pieces for his own ensembles, as well as for dance theater and films and has set poems to music for songs by Robert Gernhardt, Hollace Metzger, Jane Le Croy, Thomas Nyx, Erich Pacher, and many others. Philadelphy has performed at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Saalfelden Jazz Festival, Klangspuren Schwaz, NYC Carnegie Hall, Donaufestival, and other venues large and small worldwide. Reviews of my work are available internationally. His own productions have been selected three times as “Recommended New Release” in NYC Jazzrecords magazine.

Dora Bleu
is currently working with Zone Null (Burkhard Beins and Tony Eliah), and Uwe Moellhusen on storytelling projects. Her most recent release last year on the Syrphe label was in a trio with Periklis Tsoukalas and Cedrik Fermont. According to African Paper, this CD, titled The Dream Border,

remains a “rapturous” work that unfolds its impact precisely through its alienations. The colleagues at Field Notes aptly described it as music that is “best understood as liminal; as a threshold between one world and another, [...] between pop songwriting and drone music.” (Translated from Deepl.) Das Album bleibt insgesamt ein “entrücktes” Werk, das gerade durch die Verfremdungen seine Wirkung entfaltet. Die Kollegen von Field Notes beschrieben es treffend als Musik, die “am besten als liminal verstanden wird; als Schwelle zwischen einer Welt und einer anderen, [...] zwischen Popsongwriting und Drone Music”.
Dora's prior recordings included a full length LP infused with the guitar work of Marc Ribot, titled Fascism’s Intimacy and released on Drawing Room Records in May 2019. From this record, the track “The Obvious” was featured in the Wire Tapper in March 2021.
