Two guitarists are combining their musical styles and traditions to form Acoustic Noire, a musical duo.

Phil Patenaude and Rob Dewar have known each other since 1995 and have played together in the past. In 2013, they recorded an informal jam together and in 2015, working from that, they began what would become Acoustic Noire.

Their recently formed duo is a collaborative effort, with Patenaude91裸聊视频檚 happier sounds brightening Dewar91裸聊视频檚 darker moods.

Patenaude91裸聊视频檚 musical background is in folk and jazz, while Dewar is a self-taught musician with a rock background. Between the two of them, they have more than seven decades of guitar playing experience.

Dewar describes Acoustic Noire as an 91裸聊视频渙rchestrated acoustic guitar duet.91裸聊视频� The two musicians play original acoustic guitar compositions, with a wide range of stylistic approaches.

91裸聊视频淢y mainstay in the guitar world is lead improvisation, and I use that medium as an inspiration for writing melodies and textures,91裸聊视频� Dewar said.

These sounds are blended with Patenaude91裸聊视频檚 rhythmic chordal progressions.

Patenaude grew up in Montreal and developed his musical styles based on the multicultural and jazz traditions he experienced while growing up.

91裸聊视频淔or me, the opportunity to co-create and share the many moods and colours of what the acoustic guitar can bring is a dream come true,91裸聊视频� he said.

Dewar enjoys the collaborative efforts and the resulting sounds from the work he and Patenaude create together.

91裸聊视频淢y inspiration in writing and performing Acoustic Noire91裸聊视频檚 music, is to give our audiences a real treat of great music and deep, evolving emotions, with a little excitement at seeing how we play what we do, live, tossed in, just for fun,91裸聊视频� Dewar said.
