MALRIC/LAU DUO: Duo with pianist Lionel Malric, started as a prepared piano duo (DUO POUR 454 CHORDES), but due to the unreality of playing concerts on 2 grand piano’s, an electric duo with Lionel on tons of moveable instruments and objects (just can’t leave them out!) came into existence called TIOT (The Impermenance Of Things). Heavy Acoustic and Smaller Electric versions have their outputs on records in the future… (here a taste of Duo Pour 454 Chordes: https://elnegocito.bandcamp.com/album/duo-pour-454-chordes

CORSANO/LAU DUO: Extended solo’s but in duo with Chris Corsano on the drums, and me on a bunch of toypiano’s, electronics and clockworks. We did a residency fall 2013 in Les Ateliers Claus (with thanks to a bourse of Smartbe). Here the result: https://pakyanlau.bandcamp.com/album/asbestos-and-little-rain
