ARI BENJAMIN MEYERS

DUET is a composition to be performed by two strangers and is based on three motives. The composition is simple and written in a way it could be comprehended by a person who cannot read musical notations. It has two voices to perform the same score: Me and You. Me is to be performed by a member of an institution, exhibiting the work, or an entitled person. You is performed by a visitor.

The performance is always initiated by the question, posed by Me performing person to a visitor: “Would you like to sing with me?” If the answer is yes, a short rehearsal takes place (10 minutes approximately) followed by a complete performance of the piece. If the invited visitor answers negatively, nothing happens.
