GORDE, the new project in 2026 by Katharina Ernst on drums and Florentin Ginot on double bass, is flirting with mathematical reasoning while simultaneously denying its supremacy. Together, they are traveling through a large variety of musical worlds such as Experimental, Industrial and Renaissance Music, all while keeping their focus sharp in the present and internally heading to the next step already. The listener is perceiving an unsettling musical journey that is anchored in movement and versatility, with a love for outbursts of energy as well as the contemplative unfolding of ancient patterns and harmonies.

Florentin Ginot is known for his expertise in handling the double bass with so much ease that it feels almost like he's playing a violin, as he is showing in his stunning solo work BACH+, as well as the numerous collaborations with artists like Georges Aperghis, Helge Sten (Deathprod), Valérie Dréville, Rebecca Saunders, Efdemin…

Katharina Ernst, on the other hand, has made herself a reputed expert on embodied polyrhythms on an extended drum kit, which her ongoing series EXTRAMETRIC gives a solid testimony of. She has shown this approach also in diverse collaborative constellations with the likes of Florentina Holzinger, Klangforum Wien, Peter Kutin, Lola Arias and many others.
