Over the past two years, composers/pianists/sound artists Lewis Mosley and Elizabeth Jigalin have explored the sonic intricacies and possibilities of The Church's pianos. Playing on the two grand pianos, they have investigated the potential of two similar yet separate instruments performing as one - all against the incredible acoustic backdrop of The Church. This collaborative project coalesces both Lewis and Elizabeth's musical backgrounds, encompassing performance in rock groups, experimental ensembles, and jazz bands, as well as more traditional forms of compositional thought. As a two piano duo, Lewis and Elizabeth draw on these influences to carve out structures, improvise, and intertwine their individual approaches. In coming together to deal with the personal nature of their individual relationships to the instrument, they create explorative music, blurring the lines between the individual instruments in order to search and shift seamlessly between different sonic states and worlds.
