The Flannau Duo ( Flens+Hannau ) is a dynamic, new music loving, tour-de-force ensemble combining piano, percussion, electronics, improvisation, and absurdism.

Breaching into interdisciplinary practices and a wide variety of collaborations, Chicago Based composer and sound designer Austin Gray Williams uses both traditional and exploratory compositional techniques and trends to create art at his highest level. Having a deep understanding of music technology and common practice techniques has enabled Austin to create worlds of sound that bridge natural acoustic settings and unconventional electroacoustic phenomena. By incorporating electronics and acoustic techniques there is a generally maximal approach to most works. Throwing paint against the wall, seeing what sticks, throwing more paint, seeing what sticks again. Explorations and a fervent attitude towards learning are key aspects to Williams’ process and desire towards elevated artistic output.
