Fairtrade Concert

Duplicity video

Another video from my concert in Coton in July 2011. This is “Duplicity”, my homage to the music of Steve Reich, inspired by his piece “Clapping Music”. The initial violin figure is looped live, and then I play along with it, but every eight repeats I move one quaver out with the loop, resulting in a variety of interesting cross-rhythms. Eventually, by continuing to move out of phase by one quaver at a time, I “catch up” with the original loop, and we end up in unison.

This has been a staple item in my live concerts for many years, and continues to be fascinating and challenging to play, and hopefully to listen to as well!

This video was recorded live as part of a concert in Coton, Cambridgeshire, in July 2011. Many thanks to my friend Phil Toms for the excellent arrangement, and to Nicky Anderson for the lovely venue!
