about
Duo Augmented was composed by Yota Kobayashi in 2015/16 for Mark Takeshi McGregor and clarinetist Liam Hockley. This large-scale work plays with the idea of two independent (and occasionally confrontational) voices forming a unified whole through the use of electronics. As the title suggests, the computer processes the sounds of the flute and clarinet — stretching, augmenting, distorting — until it is often difficult to tell one from the other. Kobayashi states “the unification towards a whole is always in process” — to this end, Duo Augmented ends as it began, with the long, intertwined tones of the two acoustic instruments gradually disengaging from one another, each in search of the next chance encounter.
