kai fagaschinski | clarinet, composition
michael thieke | clarinet, composition
Kai and Michael started working together as a clarinet duo in 2000. After improvising for some time in a mainly quiet and noise-based style, they turned their thoughts in new directions to find the delicate pleasures one might not associate with clarinet duos.
In 2002 they shifted the project towards the composition of pieces that are focused on tone material in a kind of pipe-organ style, making it sound like one instrument, or more than two, through the comforts that multi-phonics and difference tones offer. The pieces have a warm and slowed down quality that some might associate with electronic music.
