Contre: French for against, opposite, versus.


On contras and contrasts, points of contact and counterpoints, positions and oppositions. 

This is the second piece in the cycle of my instrumental duos, which emphasise the performative aspect of music. It is a continuation of my interest in the physicality of sound and the presence of the body in music. By applying instruments and electronics (including piezo microphones placed on the performers’ bodies, as well as transducers on the instruments) in an unconventional fashion, I explore anew the intimate relation between instrument and performer.
