duo fortuna

I'm really happy that I'm back with Duo Fortuna, a piano guitar duo in which I have the great pleasure of playing with Leslie Purcell Upchurch. I think of Electric Bartok, maybe with some more Eastern elements thrown in.

It's rare for me when this amount of rapport just happens. The pieces are (except for one or 2 examples) completely imrpvoised, but generally with some parameter(s) in place. E.g. "chromatics" where the dominant idea is chromatic, half-step movement. Or "Hirajoshi" where we stick to that Japanese scale (actually it's a koto tuning, but roughly a scale).

Check out the myspace for some audio.
