"More that 30 years had passed since our last experimental duet. Tony arrived and decided he could stay for several days in Brussels and we casually started to play together one afternoon. Aude, my wife, remarks about that special moment, that in 5 minutes, if not less, she heard a natural musical chemistry of beauty and power that greatly impressed her. Tony and I hadn't played discussed or conversed about sound or anything in over 30 years. None the less the results were so totally surprising, dazzling and deeply satisfying that we decided to do some concerts together in Paris,
Nantes, Naples & Brussels and the present recording made in October 2005 at the Mercelis Theatre in Brussels on "Luc Ferrari Day" (the day that Pompidou Center in Paris presented an entire day in honor of the French composer Luc Ferrari who had just recently died in Italy)
Our duet had no title though we were very conscious of Luc Ferrari's 'presence in spirit " during that evening. How is it that Tony and i can play so magically together without ever discussing or planning or or anything ? I have no idea! It's an aural symbiotic mystery!"
