(Low Resolution excerpts)
We first encountered Simeon ten Holt’s Canto Ostinato 17 years after forming
our duo, in 2020. Maybe that sounds fairly late. In the intervening years,
we had often been occupied with highly pianistic, virtuoso works and then,
in the midst of the Covid lockdowns, what we really needed was a different
focus. A focus on form, sound worlds and the creation of music “in the
moment”. We found this in Canto Ostinato; a fascinating world with significant
input from the audience, the space and the ambience. When performing the
piece, our main inspiration is the moment and the situation we find ourselves
in, and we are so grateful that Ten Holt offered us and many other musicians
this scope. That is why we opted for a live recording: what we feel is the most
sincere and intimate way of recording this music.
