Time to share some more music with you guys...
Antoine Dufour (guitar) and Tommy Gauthier (violin), feature in this video...both from Canada (the french speaking part) . This combination of instruments is truly stunning...Watch out from 1:56 -2:10, this is my favourite part of the whole composition, a wonderful rising sequence.
This is beautiful blend of both melody and rhythm. Antoine's guitar playing is sensational, his grasp of every aspect of the guitar; finger picking, strumming, harmonics, and his whole very rhythmic approach. The sound of Tommy's violin is incredible; he has beautiful tone. I particuarly enjoy the the way he slides onto the notes giving a very 'folky' sound. He uses a great variety of fast, very rhythmic playing almost bouncing off the strings, in juxtaposition to long sweeping notes. His use of double stopping just shows the great command of the instrument he has.
Fantastic!
