‘T(w)o-Do’ consisted of flutist Mark Alban Lotz from Berlin, Germany and bass player Tjitze Vogel from Utrecht, Netherlands. Point of departure for their musical cooperation are their own compositions as well as some of the jazz-avantgarde classics of the recent decennia.
The application of extended techniques (percussive elements, circular breathing, multi-phonics, voice, electronics, etc.) and the use of the whole family of flutes (piccolo-, c-, alto-, bass-, contra bass flute and other miscellaneous flutes, like the dijiridoo or the flötophon) enables ‘T(w)o-Do’ to create a variety of textures. These they explore in their flexible sound collages and structures ranging from songs to fairytales.
