Bio
Ako Amo was founded in 2022.
By reducing and contouring melodic molecules and modulating the perception of time, the duo arrives at an aesthetic of guided slowness.
The compositions are created on the piano and "Segment Assembler" - an electronic instrument developed for this project.
Early digital electronics and acoustic grand piano, piano processing and sensitive sound design make up the Ako Amo sound.
​
The debut Album "Making Love" will be released at the beginning of 2025.
Martin Reck is an electronic musician, singer-songwriter and composer.
His works combine influences from acousmatic, pop and club into narrative-driven music of a
magical realism.
Olivia Zaugg's work leads to various areas of the music world - as a classical Lied pianist, as a singer and accordionist, composer, choir accompanist, pedagogue, in interdisciplinary collaborations or research of new concert formats.
