Well, it's a duo, but we approach it with a band sensibility. We just finished demo recordings of the first few songs (a cleanly recorded "as we play it live" recording). The general idea is mostly traditional songs, done with my electronic and rock background and Virginia's classical/opera background. These three songs are Celtic, but we do plan on arranging some American traditional folk songs as well. I'm particularly proud of our version of "Roslyn Castle", one of my all-time favorite Scottish tunes.
Give them a listen, and let me know what you think!
In the off-topic forum, of course, because it is!
And for the gear-spotters among you, Virginia is of course singing and playing a Wood Electric Violin. Most of the percussion comes from an EMU XL7 (also used for live sequencing) and the synths are mostly a Virus TI. I'm also playing a cheap lap dulcimer and a Jay Turser electric 12 string, tuned to CGCGGC.
