Duo

Back

Mark Buckingham and Harry Whalley have recorded an interesting CD of improvisations at the Cathedral at Downpatrick, Northern Ireland. Harry plays the cathedral organ, which is one of the best in Ireland, and Mark plays Bb, bass and contra alto clarinets and alto saxophone. The sonic possibilities of each of the instruments are vast, yet when played in a duo are immense. The musical processes employed for these improvisations were to listen, “know” the other player, intuition, vision, empathy and also respect for surroundings which in this case is a very sacred site. The improvisations were recorded by Max Buckingham, using digital and mono analogue equipment. All the proceeds of this CD go to the cathedral. Our aim with this area of performing is to make fund-raising CDs for Cathedrals around the world.
