Mal and Mini Plays Duets

from Cross​/​Over by Donald Bousted

about

Mal and Mini Play Duets was generally inspired by the textures and techniques of minimalism but became something else in the process of writing. The two ukuleles play with simple, contrasting ideas which are developed through tiny melodic cells, swapping parts and varied re-statement. This process is given time to take it’s course before an almost rock-style riff appears, formed from the small cells heard previously. This riff is then subsequently picked apart and new rhythms and percussive elements are introduced which brings the material to a climax. Mal and Mini Play Duets is dedicated to the charismatic and pioneering uke player, author and teacher Paul Mansell. It is realised here by multi-tracking two tenor ukuleles.—Donald Bousted
