RFI: Great Duo performances – instrumentals

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed

Hi, turning to the ILM hivemind for help on a project.

A friend of mine is working on a new album that will be strictly a duo instrumental album - violin and a one string viol - they're looking for inspiration and asked me for suggestions of stuff to listen to.

Maybe songs to cover but more importantly as inspirations for them to think of great collabs – open to any and all styles so punk, jazz, funk, whatever

any thoughts, suggestions much appreciated.

peace, love, & coffee
