Passepartout Duo: New single release

Former artists-in-residence Pssepartout Duo have just released their new single "From Belgrade" - the second track from our collection of "Pieces from Places", this time written in Belgrade and recorded in Tbilisi in December 2023.

In each track of this series we are trying out a different combination of instruments, and "From Belgrade" is written with drums, piano, and our modular synth. It is a sort of throwback to the style in our first release, Ólafsfjörður.  "Pieces from Places" is a series of 12 tracks compiled by Passepartout Duo in different locations around the world. One new track will be released each month for one year, starting March 27, 2025.

Since 2015, Passepartout Duo has been traveling without a studio, an apartment, or home base. This itinerant lifestyle has been fueling a unique musical practice that has now spanned more than fifty countries. In each place, they engage with artist communities, build new instruments, and exchange ideas. These “Pieces from Places”, recorded as sonic journals, exemplify Passepartout’s philosophy, building on a core musical language as much as the experiments conjured along the way.

Passpartout Duo consists of Nicoletta Favari and Christopher Salvito, they have been in residence at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel from October 2019 to May 2020.
