__________________________

These duets offer up explorations of both differences and
similarities between the flute and organ. One instrument is
fixed whilst the other is free to travel thespace of the hall.
One instrument is made up of a single pipe that, unmodified,
can be manipulated in an infinite number of ways whilst the
other is made up of many pipes that can be manipulated in a
very limited number of ways. Both instruments use the flow of
air to “sound” and can create microtonal sonorities that at
times tend towards vocalisations. Sometimes it is difficult
to tell one from the other.   The experimentation never strays far
from the components that make up the duo’s strong identity:
slow, drawn out howls combined with sharp speech-like
utterances, incantation-sounding improvisations that spark and
bounce off the stone walls of the interior spaces in reflections that
modulate according to the changing physical positioningof the
instrumentalists and inchoate, melodic constructions that evoke
“first principles” music making.
