Duo Ueda Offermans

El japonés/holandés Duo Ueda Offermans de Junko Ueda (satsuma biwa y voz) y Wil Offermans (flautas) ha actuado con mucho excito en todo el mundo. La música del dúo explora el sonido de extendida técnicas de la flauta como la respiración circular, tonos de bambú, armónicos, multifónicos, el sonido particular de biwa y la voz basado en el canto tradicional japonés. A través de sus composiciones e improvisaciones, el dúo cultiva su música en el campo donde las diferentes culturas se encuentran y crean una identidad entre antiguos y modernos, orientales y occidentales. El programa del concierto del dúo incluye cada actuación en solitario, la presentación de la música japonesa tradicional y composiciones de flauta solista, y actuación del dúo con composiciones propias incluyendo “How to Survive in Paradise II”; “Genji-Monogatari y Lorca - Gacela Del Amor Desesperado”; “Dejima Suite”, improvisaciones y piezas de Toru Takemitsu incluyendo “November Steps Cadenza”. En algunas de sus piezas utilizan la live-electrónica.

 How to Survive in Paradise II images a science-fictional paradise, where a pleasant, lush and peaceful life, in harmony with nature, is gradually eroded by mankind, its actions, restlessness and curiosity.

Durante los últimos años, el dúo se ha presentado en numerosos festivales (e.g. Musique Action Nancy, Singapore Festival of Arts, Quebec Summer Festival, New Music Festival Middelburg, Musica Contemporena Bogota) y ha realizado numerosas giras en Europa, América del Norte y del Sur y Asia. Dos CDs dúo se han producido: “How to Survive in Paradise” (VDE-Gallo CD732) y "Dejima Suite" (E-records CDE011).
