Sarangi exercise, practice http://www.alansondheim.org/exercise1.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/exercise.mp4 http://www.alansondheim.org/exercise3.jpg reading Ways of the Hand, The Organization of Improvised Conduct, by David Sudnow, endlessly detailing the somatic aspects of his piano playing - the sarangi presenting its own problems, but I thought it might be interesting to show an example of practice, flaws and all. this practice is particularly difficult; I'm working one way or another through three octaves on the high string, both harmonics and straight-forward fingering. all the errors and squeaks come through, as does the physicality. (I should make it clear, if it's not from the improvisation itself, that I'm not trying to play classical sarangi in way way; on the other hand, it's important to learn the fingering.) enjoy, cover your ears, gasp. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
