Amanda Stewart & Natasha Anderson

Ever since their debut duo at the NOWnow in 2006, Amanda and Natasha have continued to play together whenever geography and life allows.

Performances

An extraordinary range of sounds sporadically emerged and receded: whistles, breaths, kisses, twittering, chattering. It was often truly startling, with both performers demonstrating extraordinary control over dynamics and timing. They weren’t so much responding to each other as operating as one volatile unit. At times I was reminded of Luciano Berio and Cathy Berberian’s electroacoustic composition Visage, but with the operatics replaced by a 21st century microscopic sensibility.
