Repertoire highlights
IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS (IS:CNE) - See project page
THE CLASSICS
In addition to new commissions, Duo Hellqvist/Amaral regularly includes works from the past in their projects and concerts. The Iannis Xenakis masterpiece Dikhthas from 1979 was the first work performed by the duo in its debut concert in 2011 and has since served as an aesthetic framework the exploration of the dual nature of the violin-piano formation. Among the classics often juxtaposed to new repertoire are:
Iannis Xenakis: Dikthas (1979)
Leoš Janáček: Sonata (1914)
Johannes Brahms: Sonata nr.1 Op 78 in G major (1879)
Arnold Schönberg: Phantasy Op 47 (1949)
J. S. Bach: Sonatas for violin and harpsichord
EXTENDED TECHNIQUES
Together with composers Mauricio Pauly (CR) and Santiago Diez Fischer, Duo Hellqvist/Amaral explores the boundaries of their instruments and look for new extended instrumental techniques. Pieces included in the project have focused on inside piano techniques, lo-fi electronics, scordatura, objects found in every day life, guitar pedals and more.
The pieces have been presented at Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University and conDiT Buenos Aires. Composer Eivind Buene is also part of the project, with his Untitled (2014), a work that includes a lyrical but uncanny study for inside piano echoing Mozart and following City Silence, meditative violin solo.
LIVE ELECTRONICS
Duo Hellqvist/Amaral has a special interest for live electronic works that deal with room spatialisation and live processing. Composers currently involved in the project are Natasha Barrett (UK/NO) and Kent Olofsson (SE).
