Olafsson & Hijmans Duo

They play freely improvised music for two guitars, juxtaposing and exploring the various incarnations of the instrument and weaving through it an abundance of nods to different styles and voices. Their approach is thoroughly experimental and reflects an eclectic curiosity about the guitar in its contemporary setting.
