two very strange plucked yayli tanbur solos
http://www.alansondheim.org/hev1.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/hev2.mp3 the tanbur neck is adjustable, as are the strings and bridge of course. the result is that there are a variety of ways to set it; i've lowered the action to the extent that i need to apply hiss control filtering to get rid of string rattle - on the other hand, this allows me to play faster and with more complexity. i'm clumsy on the quarter-tones, but i find resonant intervals among them that create melodic clusters. the tanbur itself has 48 frets; the yayli tanbur has 56. more images from odyssey-armageddon http://www.alansondheim.org/ arm pngs _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
