Postscript:
Our original idea for this CD was to record in the U.S. in 2020. As with so many other things, COVID-19 put an end to that plan, so we decided to do the recording on our own in Japan, then have it mixed and mastered in the gained experience, got three tracks together and sent them off for mixing with Bob Stark. One of Bob's first suggestions was to add guitarist David Torn to the Left Alone track. What started out for us as a small, personal project, turned into something much more significant and extremely gratifying on many levels. In May of 2021, the music was released on CD in Japan, and digitally distributed worldwide on Bandcamp.
Jazz is an ever-evolving art form. We started Duology to pursue new, original means of musical expression within the vocal/bass duo format. We hope that many find our music inspiring and look forward to creating more in the near future.
制作後記：
今回のCD制作は、二人での活動が三年目を迎えた昨年(2020年)企画。
新型コロナ感染症のため、予定していたアメリカでのスタジオ録音が出来ず、日本でセルフレコーディング、アメリカでミキシング＆マスタリングし制作。
制作過程で、ミキシングエンジニアBob Stark氏 (有名アーティストの作品を多数手懸ける)の提案により、ジャズギタリスト＆音楽プロデューサーとして世界的に活躍するDavid Torn氏の参加が決まり、収録曲(全３曲)の内１曲を、二人のサウンドに新たなエッセンスが加わった意"duology+"とし、2021年5月に、日本でCD発売、Bandcampにて配信中。
”duology"は、ベースとボーカルという限られた音の中で新たな表現の可能性を見いだそうと結成したため、今回の作品のオリジナリティや音楽性が、ジャズの本場アメリカで好意的に受け入れられ高評価を得られたことは大変嬉しく、今後も自分達のサウンドを追求し続け、さらに音楽的な高みを目指したいと思っています。
