Nyman’s “Time Lapse”

Last week I played again at the excellent New Cut Arts Centre in Halesworth. Situated in rural Suffolk it’s an excellent venue where I’ve previously performed solo, and also with the “Touchable Dreams” show.

Last Sunday I was there with my duo partner Kelly Jones as “Phase 2″: This exciting collaboration has seen us exploring not only the acoustic violin duo repertoire, but also building up an interesting array of arrangements for electric/electric and electric/acoustic combinations.

Sunday’s show included duos by Wieniawski, Miklos Rozsa, Bartok, Judith Weir and Philip Hansell, plus arrangements of Arvo Part, Satie, Nyman and even Massive Attack, using a mixture of violins with, in some cases, some live looping. For two pieces I used my Bridge Octave violin, which is basically one octave lower than a normal instrument, providing some useful bass pitches.

We filmed and recorded the concert, in order to provide some useful clips for the new Phase 2 website, which I’m currently putting together at www.phase2duo.co.uk. Meanwhile here’s a video of the Nyman piece we played – a new one to our repertoire – which went down extremely well with the audience. I hope you enjoy it!
