Haunting avant-chamber music with folkloric, minimalist, electronic and noise elements...EK Duo features bassoonist Rachael Elliott & percussionist Thomas Kozumplik. The pair creates spacious sound-worlds coloured by steel drum, marimba, reedy bassoon, kalimba, electronics, and more.
"...with Newsome playing melodies/variations as Dessner plucked methodical arpeggios, Rachael Elliott added counterpoint on bassoon, and Thomas Kozumplik played shimmering chords on marimba. [...] There was no question that the classical and indie realms can share a border where music turns pensive, knotty and otherworldly." (The New York Times)
