Samsara

The techniques comprise expanded string writing utilizing bow speed, bow pressure, bow rotation, bow placement, microtonal tunings.  The sound world begins inside a tone and slowly expands within that tone to become the inner world of chaos – much like the inner world of a subatomic particle.  In effect, this work explores the notion of the bandwidth of a single tone or unity of tones within the singly perceived band.

The work is spiritual at its most intimate core.  The life-reaffirming search applied to strings remembers a beginning and an end.  Beauty is suggested subtly and vigorously.  The peace of Norway and the energy of Berlin.
