Meet the Artist | Passepartout Duo

On this new episode of "Meet the Artist" you get the chance to meet the music group Passepartout Duo, comprised of pianist Nicoletta Favari and percussionist Christopher Salvito. Making music that escapes categorization, the duo’s ongoing travel around the world informs the multi-disciplinary collaborations, instrumental compositions, and evocative music videos that constitute their body of work. The musical events they create focus on reconsidering the modalities in which people listen to and connect with music, and are cast from a wide range of aesthetics and disciplines. Taking a from-scratch approach with their musical endeavors, DIY instruments play a central role in their discographic releases. The group’s 2020 LP release, called Vis- -Vis, features compositions written for a portable handmade instrumentation that accompanied the duo during a month-long train journey across Central Asia. The project was started during a residency at the Embassy of Foreign Artists in 2019 (CH), and the album was produced during their residency at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in 2019/2020 (CN).
