Leur parcours musical a commencé avec la musique contemporaine. Très tôt, ils ont commencé à collaborer avec des compositeurs émergents, créant un nouveau répertoire. Through their own musical language they perform a repertoire mostly consisting of compositions and arrangements written by Gabriel Collet, specifically for the duo. In addition to their concert activities, the duo writes soundtracks for documentaries and works with different musicians, singers, dancers and painters.
