Anne-F Jacques and I recently contributed “Sur Place/Staying” to Amplify 2020. The piece was recorded separately in Montreal (Jacques) and Kobe (Olive) in late May/early June, with no discussion beforehand; the only thing set was the actual length of the piece. The two separate recordings were then sent to Taku Unami who overlaid them, with no alterations.
I’m quite happy with how the piece turned out; there are a number of interesting juxtapositions and transitions that really emphasize how well this duo works, even when we’re not on the same continent.
Thanks to Jon Abbey, Vanessa Rossetto and Taku Unami, as well as all the contributors.
