demo
The first time they have met at the 2nd int. Cracking bamboo
festival 2010 in Vietnam and Indonesia, where they have played together 2 concerts
at the sold out opera in Hanoi, one in Bandung and one at the music conservatory
in HoChiMin City. In Bandung the ensemble kyai fatahilla and
the duo fatale had an extra concert meeting at the Universitas
Perdidikan Indonesia, Durusan Perdidikan Musik FPBS.
Immediately they knew, that they had to create an own project together, so they
started to exchange ideas, datas, knowledge and music from their groups.
In april 2011 they all met again and created an exciting performance with new
compositions by the leaders of the groups. So the gamelan will appear in a contemporary
style, playing scores with a conductor as well as in the traditional way.
The main idea for the fata-fata-project ist to combine western
instruments with the traditional gamelan on the one hand. On the other hand
the new idea is to combine pelog and slendro within the gamelan itself, which
is a new idea and not used until now. So it needed to invent an new way of writing
for the compositions. The musically research of duo fatale has gained the result
of doing this. One of the small revolutions is that one person has to play two
instruments at the same time, which needs a new arrangement of the instruments.
The next step are new playing technics which are needed in the new compositions,
which all of them have to find out, like how to play three notes at the same
time with only one stick in one hand and a distance of half a meter?
So the whole project is a huge challenge and experiment of finding new ways
of playing wonderful ideas and realizing a sensational experience for the audience,
which has been proved at the beautiful first fata-fata-concert at the Selasar
Sunaryo in Bandung in april 2011. In march 2012 they have continued their common
work in Bandung and enrichened the music with further concepts, free improvisations
and more compositions. Also now the fata-trio with justthe
three musicians JOPO, Ingeborg Poffet and
Iwan Gunawan is improved.
JOPO & Ingeborg Poffet from Switzerland are known as the Duo fatale, worldwide
playing concerts on international festivals, clubconcerts and for filmmusic-studios.

and sound-engineers, always inventing new projects and creating new formations,
