Work Overview
Assuming that there is a from-elsewhere, this constellation of songs is clear evidence for it; - the pieces you hear don't have a fixed geographic or musical home in terms of their harmonic or textual form - but come from some intangible elsewhere. So you listen more intensely in order to pick out some identifiers for yourself. This delicate "elsewhere" becomes apparent through nuances of contrast and colour.
We went for an improvisational approach, using existing texts of mine and, in parts, of his as the basis for our performances and recordings. The two voices are contrapuntal, the piano cannot really be called the accompaniment, it is almost autonomous: more melody than accompaniment."
