This duo of electric cello and electric piano got together in 2005 through mutual interest in eclecticism, inauthentic performance and the possibilities of contemporary music technology - modern electric instruments have become expressive and responsive, so why not use them for concert music performance? Core repertoire currently includes major works by Astor Piazzolla, Delius, Faure, Stravinsky, Arvo Pärt and arrangements of Satie, Antonio Soler and Couperin. They also play their own music, some of which is written specifically for large resonant spaces such as churches. They've also played improvised music for the ZieuMZic festivals and 'dinner jazz' often with the singer Deb Swallow. Originally from Chicago, Stan played with punk rock bands in New York, and has worked with Lydia Lunch, Madonna and Brian Eno. Before moving to the Aude he lived for 12 years in London playing regularly with Mike Westbrook, Arthur Brown, Carol Grimes, Jon Lloyd and others.
