Moving Sounds

The clarinet virtuoso Tara Bouman and the exceptional trumpeter and versatile musician Markus Stockhausen have been performing as the duo MOVING SOUNDS since 2002.

The repertoire includes compositions by both artists as well as improvisation and, above all, intuitive music. Their programme is decided spontaneously and in accordance with the acoustic qualities of the space in which they are playing, the time and the people present. The individual pieces are announced during the concert. They take their listeners on a musical journey of discovery.

The wide spectrum of sound experience which MOVING SOUNDS creates – ranging from deeply entrenched profundity via good-humoured whizzing and whirring to eruptive eccentricity – is highly appreciated by music critics and audiences alike. Music enthusiasts with varying tastes enjoy the appearances and let themselves be transported into new realms of sound.

MOVING SOUNDS has given numerous concerts in Italy, Switzerland, England, Norway, Holland, France, Spain, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Israel, Russia, USA, Chile and, above all, Germany. The two musicians prefer to play in venues with special acoustic qualities such as churches or museums where the extraordinary sound qualities of the wind duo can unfold at their best.

Musica Sacra

Music which directs you to the inner self, which invites you to become still.

Musica Sacra – this beautifully describes the intuitively played music of Tara Bouman and Markus Stockhausen. Before the concert the musicians endeavor to empty themselves of the worries and concerns of the world and thus make themselves receptive for the sounds that wish to be born of the moment.  

The intimacy of Musica Sacra makes the listeners feel that through their presence they also contribute to its creation. 
Nothing is created at random, but rather depth, space, purity evolve. 

One can sense a longing in the music, a calling and cheering, speaking, shouting,
until the sounds unite in stillness.

Tara Bouman
clarinet, bass clarinet

Tara Bouman studied classical clarinet in the Netherlands and has performed concerts all over Europe, Chile, Mexico and the United States of America – initially in the field of the so called contemporary music, until in her collaboration with Markus Stockhausen she was encouraged to improvise. Since then her focus has been in playing “intuitive music”.

In cooperation with Deutschland Radio the Cologne Label Aktivraum published her first CD in 2003: CONTEMPORARY. In 2002 she started to perform together with Markus Stockhausen (trumpet, flugelhorn) in the duo Moving Sounds. In 2004 their first duo CD THINKING ABOUT was released; RITUAL from the year 2015 is the second recording by Moving Sounds. Other CD’s with Tara are: SYMPHONIC COLOURS and SPACES AND SPHERES (2009), and ETERNAL VOYAGE in 2010.

Tara Bouman enjoys to perform in beautifully sounding, voluminous halls, where the sounds of wind and brass can unfold at its best. Her music is without label – her intention is to play music that is pure, music which touches the soul. The music unfolds and develops in the very moment of its performance. This way it is connected with the place it is played and the people present.

Tara also is a teacher of Iyengar Yoga.
