Gunther Tiedemann - David Plate Duo

cello & guitar

Since 2002, the Gunther Tiedemann - David Plate Duo has been playing their own compositions by strength and intimacy with head and belly.

Stylistically, what jazz is able to absorb in terms of Latin, funk, rock, pop and folk happens. Both instruments take on melody, chord, percussion and bass functions. That's what the band is like always complete. Changing timbres are also created by playing techniques that are played by plucking, choping, slaping, walking...

The result has already been dubbed "noble chamber jazz" by observers.

"... Released by Upsolute Music Records (...), the opus leaves a lot of noise after the first sounds listen attentively. (...) What the two musicians offer here testifies to a knowledge of instrumental possibilities, which are not only reflected in a tonal balance, but also in the fact that expresses that the listener does not feel any gaps that he would like to fill with percussion or chord instruments (...). But it is not only the great ability of both musicians to differentiate that tears here but also the cheeky adaptation of diverse stylistic elements, which in a pleasurable way different titles,..."
