Duo Signal commissions composers in response to its own artistic questions and a desire to create new music of the highest quality. Since its founding in 2019, the duo has supported the next generation of artists through close and sustained collaboration. It seeks out distinctive voices within the contemporary landscape and engages rigorously with each composer’s aesthetic perspective, providing a supportive framework for the development and realisation of new ideas. In parallel, Duo Signal organises an international Call for Scores that commissions works from selected composers while creating opportunities to discover and share emerging artistic worlds with diverse audiences.

The duo regularly leads artist residencies from its base in Basel, and has been invited to give masterclasses at institutions and festivals such as Potries Music Fest (Spain), the Conservatoire Supérieur of Castile–La Mancha (Spain), and Örebro University (Sweden). They also conduct composer interviews through the Signals Series, curated by Spanish composer Nuño Fernández Ezquerra, which offers insights into the music of today. Through these activities, the duo fosters dialogue and critical reflection within a contemporary music scene in constant transformation.

Through performances distinguished by precision, vitality, and strong artistic commitment, Duo Signal creates immersive and evocative musical experiences that reveal the essence of each work.
