2010 @ cracking bamboo festival, Opera Hanoi
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.
Es begann mit einem
Konzert in der ausverkauften Oper von Hanoi in Vietnam am Cracking Bamboo
Festival 2010. Seither entwickeln JOPO, Ingeborg Poffet & Iwan Gunawan
nebst zeitgenössischen Gamelan-Kompositionen für ihr gemeinsames
Orchester-Projekt fata-fata konsequent ihre gemeinsamen Improvisationen.

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 duo fatale meets Iwan Gunawan, with just the three musicians JOPO, Ingeborg Poffet and Iwan Gunawan is improved for playing concerts with free improvised music.
JOPO & Ingeborg Poffet from Switzerland are known as the Duo fatale, worldwide playing concerts on international festivals, clubconcerts and for filmmusic-studios. They work with electronic, realize computer-music as well as they are producers and sound-engineers, always inventing new projects and creating new formations, collaborations, compositions, concepts and multi-media-events. They have published many cds & dvds, mostly on XOPF-Records, and sheets- and book-projects on AUGEMUS-Musikverlag. They have worked projects with indian musicians (JAISH, Indian Book), turkish (El JIM V.), chinese/malaysian (SOULS in LOVE), marrocain musicians (Aisha Fatalisha), russian and others (Duo fatale meets international guests).
