Info zu The Jukebox Album

On March 17, 2020, we made the rather ambitious – and, it should be noted, jet-lagged – decision to record and share one music video for every day we would spend in isolation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In retrospect, it was a bold choice – little did we know that our imagined two-to-three weeks of lockdown would turn into 88 days of musical mini-adventures, one for each key of the piano.

We named our pandemic project #UriPosteJukeBox, a portmanteau of our last names plus a nod to a more old-timey method of enjoying music, and decided that it would be our method of keeping our minds and fingers sharp during the following period of unemployment, when we might otherwise have lost the motivation to practise regularly. We asked our virtual following what they might like to hear us play, and were flooded with requests, from Mozart and Messiaen to Britney Spears and The Wheels on the Bus. Our first few videos drew a much wider audience than we were anticipating, and we soon found ourselves on a rather surreal transatlantic call to BBC Radio 3’s In Tune, discussing Tom’s medley of Come On Eileen, Toxic, and Baby Shark. As the days went by, Tom set to work producing elaborate new arrangements and transcriptions, Elena devised increasingly outrageous costumes (from nuns and giant corgis to the Tin Teletubby of Oz), multi-tracking apps were exploited, imaginary barriers between musical genres were gleefully dissolved, and we found ourselves endlessly touched by the wonderful community that built up around the world, of friends old and new.

A further twist to the project came when one of our dear friends and champions, Victoria Robey, reached out to us to ask if we might use #UriPosteJukeBox as a vehicle to introduce new works commissioned through her generous support. By a happy coincidence, the brilliant British composer Mark Simpson had just been in touch to say he’d started writing us a piece, so his An Essay of Love launched #UriPostePremieres, followed by five more ‘corona commissions’ from Clarice Assad, Cheryl Frances-Hoad, Huw Watkins, Donald Grant, and Jessie Montgomery. It means the world to us that these outstanding composers, all of whom we love dearly as musicians and friends, were able to create such meaningful reflections on a deeply strange time at such short notice, and it is a joy to give all six commissions their official studio recording premieres here. ...
