Anne La Berge (US/NL) and Phil Maguire’s (SCO/IE) musical partnership has included ongoing musical and video collaborations including concerts and releases in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Ireland.
Their work has been described as experimental within the electro-acoustic musical style. They play at volume levels much softer than mainstream electronic music and the acoustic instrument in their duo is an electronically processed flute. They enjoy playing for relatively small audiences where the intimacy of detailed sonic textures and slow-moving soundscapes is shared by everyone in the room. They have performed in the UK, Netherlands, and Ireland, and are considered a house band in Splendor Amsterdam. Their works are named after cities.
To date they have released three albums, and produced one audiovisual piece (Site V), commissioned by the Dutch Embassy in London and supported by VOLSAP Foundation. Site V was displayed at iklectik’s Off-site online exhibition space October 2020 - January 2021, and was subsequently released on Carrier Records (US).
