KöNG Duo will perform “Black and White” by Fish Yu and “Gone, Dog. Gone!” by Mark Applebaum. We will explore the interdependence of a percussion duo by showcasing various forms of synchronicity between performers. Yu’s piece showcases how crucial the movements are to sound production, while Applebaum’s piece explores the concept of rhythmic miming, visually conveying the music. “Black and White” is a movement from “Frolic” (2023–2024). We commissioned Yu to create a piece that represents our shared identity as Hong Kongers. “Frolic” reimagines games we played in Hong Kong in the form of music. This movement explores a popular clapping game amongst children in Hong Kong, which shares the movement’s name. In contrast, Applebaum’s “Gone, Dog. Gone!” (2012) juxtaposes one performer’s movements with the another’s percussion playing. The performers in “Gone, Dog. Gone!” are asked to perform gestures in precise rhythm, synchronizing between each other’s movement and/or percussion playing.
