Ephemerides is a duo consisting of a vocalist and a laptop which explore the vast world of improvisation.  The mix between the most natural and body focussed  instrument (the voice) and a sophisticated tool born from more than 2 thousand centuries is a drastic contrast which creates new sonic and musical possibilities.  Together, Anaël Honings (vocals) and Raphaël Vens (electronic) creates a unique form of music and soundscapes in an immersive sonic environment.
