Erich Barganier (guitar/violin/electronics) and Ford Fourqurean (clarinets/electronics) are Shutterspeed Duo, a composer/performer ensemble combining contemporary classical composition, diy aesthetics, multimedia electronics, and video art.

The group released their debut EP Iris in February 2021 and has since created and performed a new hybrid repertoire of clarinet, guitar, synths, and electronics across the United States and Europe. The Classicyl Vine described Iris as “a kaleidoscope of textural and timbral shifts in the electronic processing of acoustic instrumentals,” and pushes the genre of indie-classical to new realms. They have performed at ClarinetFests in Reno, Denver, and Dublin as well as regularly performing at home in New York. The duo is a proud recipient of Chamber Music America’s Ensemble Forward grant, which has allowed them to receive support from individuals like Todd Reynolds and William Britelle, while helping them create their next major recorded release.
