Ahmet and Shtetl
http://www.alansondheim.org/ahmet.mp3 -- eight-string Ahmet Tekeli saz -- http://www.alansondheim.org/shtetl.mp3 -- azure carter tamburi -- -- alan sondheim viola -- working on the saz, added two more strings, tuning g(3)-d(2)-a(3) somewhat circular. the second half is played with the sound hole 'door' open on the end of the body. I think Ahmet and Shtetl are some of my best playing, stemming from the texts I've been writing as well, thinking through mourning, keening, ecstasy, frisson - thinking through hands and fingers, setting and resetting the instruments themselves. enjoy, hopefully - _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
