Strings & Timpani

Bandcamp

Stephan Meidell: guitar, electronics, modular synth
Øyvind Hegg-Lunde: drums, percussion, electronics

Drum/guitar duo Strings & Timpani uses improvisation as a method to create alternative rhythmic music in the tension between world music, contemporary music and lo-fi pop. Strings & Timpani uses different preparations of their instruments, and explores new ideas within the classic duo format. The music is located in a dogma-free place where vibrating drums, modular synths, dream-sprinkling guitars dance rhythmically in a circle at a contemporary music party.
