Imaginary music - a duo with invented instruments

“UpRoot duo” consists of Ganesh Anandan on prepared  shruti stick and microtonal metallophones and Kriton Beyer on daxophone. 
Ganesh uses a wide variety of percussive instruments, self-built microtonally tuned metallophones and the shruti stick that blend surprisingly well with Kriton’s daxophone and his electronic toys that function so very differently regarding every musical aspect: The sound is organic and the two musicians and their instruments complement each other perfectly in sound, timbre and texture, in skillful play and in savvy real-time composition.
