Louie Rice and Luciano Maggiore work together performing score-based works - both acoustic (without a PA system) and amplified (with a PA system).

The duo was originally conceived to perform works by other artists as part of an event series at Cafe OTO in London. This series acted as a research period that went on to inform the action-based pieces that Rice and Maggiore are now writing themselves. These pieces explore physical actions and vocalisations in response to pre-defined prompts or rules, and could best be described as 'two people, in a room, doing something.'

Both their solo electro-acoustic practices and other collaborations have brought them each to appreciate auditory phasing and expanding the spatialisation of sound beyond the stereo field. Together they aim to reach beyond the confines of electro-acoustic music; to develop a type of action that references conceptual and performance art, folk singing, dance choreography and minimalist composition, amongst other things.
