No one is accompanying anybody else; both performers occupy the same sound zone, and are, under all perspectives, playing one single four handed meta-instrument.  <\/p>\n<p>Isambard and Maurizio&#8217;s live act is visually captivating, as the linked videoclips illustrate, and has the effect of capturing the attention of the most diverse and variedly predisposed audiences. <\/p>\n<h3>Albums on Not Applicable:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/?page_id=19\">Five Loose Plans<\/a> \u2013 Maurizio Ravalico \/ Isambard Khroustaliov<a href=\"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/?page_id=1508\"><br \/>\nThe Resurfacing of an Atavistic Trait<\/a> \u2013 Maurizio Ravalico \/ Isambard Khroustaliov<\/p>\n<h3>Tracks on Not Applicable:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/?page_id=135\">Fear Of Bees<\/a> &#8211; Isambard Khroustaliov \/ Maurizio Ravalico<\/p>\n<h3>Films on Not Applicable:<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/8229819?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/8229819\" target=\"_blank\">Isambard Khroustaliov \/ Maurizio Ravalico Duo &#8211; Improvisation 2<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/n074ppl1c48l3\" target=\"_blank\">not applicable<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\" target=\"_blank\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Bookings:<\/h3>\n<p>To book Isambard and Maurizio email <a href=\"mailto:bookings@not-applicable.org\">bookings@not-applicable.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To download the press pack in pdf format right-click, or ctrl-click on the link <a href=\"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/IK_MR-presspack.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Images:<\/h3>\n<p>A gallery of images from the video shoot can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.not-applicable.org\/?p=637\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/balboai.eomail6.com\/form\/6b4d0914-f312-11f0-a389-9d1e404591de.js\" data-form=\"6b4d0914-f312-11f0-a389-9d1e404591de\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isambard Khroustaliov \/ Maurizio Ravalico Duo &#8211; Improvisation 1 from not applicable on Vimeo.
