Two Violin Duets
for two violins

Work no. 120
2017

These two pieces - the last composed in 2017 - were inspired by countless folk music records which captured marvellous fiddlers from all over the world. I had the idea of making a fake folk music project, something which would portray the music of some future culture, post-apocalyptic but with violins surviving, and certain Western techniques firmly ingrained in the musicians' training. The project quickly grew into something else, and these two duets are the only remnant of the original idea.
