Duo Ethnic/Classic
A special blend between violin and ethnic instruments, a special blend of two pure musicians.
All music they make together is composed and/or improvised by the duo.
They mix, sound, colour, non-western modes sometimes full of quarter tones and different tonesystems with the violin and voice. The violin is tuned in normal pitch or in scordatura. In some improvisations Ann uses also the baroque violin in scordatura to make a colour with the gut strings in lower pitch.
Jan Marmenout (born in Ghent, Belgium) is a Belgian percusionist and multi-instrumentalist playing such instruments as the berimbau, kalimba, balafon, didgeridoo, shawm, Tibetan trumpet,conch shells, fujara, lithophones, etc. He is perhaps most-known for his compositions on the fujara, an ethnic instrument from Slovakia. Marmenout plays the fujara in an intuitive and non-traditionalist way.
He has composed the score for two movies, Judentransport XX (2003) and Desperado (2002).
