What happens when two genial minds pair and create something together? In pop music it could end as a collision of two strong egos, but in the case of Hildur Guðnadóttir and Hauschka the worst scenario might have been just a lack of chemistry. Mastering the violoncello and composing solely for the single string instrument from Hildur’s perspective is much different from preparing the piano and working on a scale from symphonic orchestra to house music inspired by classical one. However, what connects these two musicians was much more intense than the difference between them. Playfulness and desire to explore undiscovered possibilities (or seldom heard) is a common characteristic of both artists as well as their experience in collaborating and working simultaneously on solo and group objects.
#294 is the first fragment of their improvisational concert in London last year. Its distinctly non-linear structure allows both artists to endeavour, entertain and play with their part with no collision or disharmony coming. Even though the composition is played with no score #294 consists of persistent waves of thrill and release; as if their minds were telepathically coordinated. Of course, their common language is music with the words exchanged for tones. Hauschka’s use of piano as a percussion instrument is charming, but the moment when he starts play it in a traditional way is the real beginning of #294 which was being built from cello vibrato with rushes of his prepared miracle for more than two minutes. What firstly sounds as a variation on a particular motive is soon thrown away with a stream-of-consciousness-like drive and vigour. #294 is just the first composition from the upcoming album Pan Tone (released on September 23rd) which contains the recording of the entire concert. Once again, another brilliant contribution to Sonic Pieces’ extraordinary collection.
