DSFC (Unison) is a quiet homage to Domenico Scarlatti and François Couperin, and to the tactile complexity of their keyboard writing.
The piece draws on some of the most idiosyncratic features of their music (i.e., ornamental density, rhythmic sharpness, physical unpredictability) in order to create a space for fragile, unplanned nuances to surface.
Both instruments play the same figure, in unison.
But here, unison is not used to reinforce — it is approached as a porous surface, where minute deviations in timing, dynamics and articulation generate counterpoint.
