Marc Ducret - guitar
Liudas Mockūnas – saxophones
A tandem of two ingenious personalities: French guitarist Marc Ducret and Lithuanian saxophonist Liudas Mockūnas began there collaboration already in 2002 when Marc Ducret joined the band « Toxikum » co-lead by Liudas Mockunas and Danish drummer Stefan Pasborg. In 2004 « Toxikum » was awarded « Danish Music Award » after that « Toxikum » was touring actively in 2004-2006 around Scandinavia, Baltic countries and France. At the same time Liudas Mockunas and Marc Ducret began playing as a duo and since playing together. In 2009 NoBusiness Records released there album « Silent Vociferation.
“…What amazes me about this is that no matter what extreme or which odd sounds each member of the duo comes up with, the other member is able to converse and compliment the ongoing dialogue. Even when things (sounds) get strange, there is a great communion of the spirits. Its times like these when one or two folks harness freedom and come up with something that doesn't sound so free. These are truly magic moments and they occur throughout there album "Silent Vociferation"on different levels.

Marc Ducret is among today's most original improvisers. Self-taught, extraordinarily gifted musician does not restrict himself to a particular style, writes distinctive and unexpected music - attacking with ferocious electric guitar outbursts or drifting into subtle impressionistic abstractions, resounding with rock hits or approaching post-bop, bursting into noise avalanches or playing with bits and pieces from the world of flamenco and classical music. One of the most unconventional guitarists empowered by acoustic and electric, bass and baritone guitars produces a unique sound, embracing all imaginable music forms.
Born in Paris in 1957 Marc Ducret began his professional career in 1975, playing bass in dance bands, rock and folk groups, accompanying singers and singing himself, and working as a studio musician. This experience was his 'Alma Mater'. As a guitarist he debuted in 1986 playing with Patrice Caratini octet.
