Duo Spike: Holger Roese & Gabriel Yeo perform Spike (1998) in Hildesheim, Germany

Swinging gongs that make the piano's soundboard vibrate - glaring metal discs that are reflected in the bright treble of the piano. The combination of piano and drums not only offers a lot of space for jazzy-rhythmic structures, but also extensive possibilities for sonorous encounters. Watercolor pieces alternate with energetic rhythms - this wide-ranging program requires both virtuosity and sensitivity.
