About
In chess, en passant is the one capture that happens on a square the piece never landed on: a move you only see if you are paying attention.
En Passant is a live chess and avant-garde music duo. A chess game plays out on a projected board above the stage while Baan G on electronics and Panamanian drummer Fidel Dely improvise around it. The music answers the game in real time, and competitive thinking becomes something an audience can hear.
