Various New/s


The first two files were made with a 1960s 12-chord Oscar Schmidt auto-
harp. ah.mp3 uses traditional chording and has been somewhat filtered.
ai.mp3 is raw and recognizes the chromatic scale of the instrument as a
potential field for structural manipulation. Structure here consists of:
repetition or partial repetitions:
similar or parallel chromatic bundles
flows of rhythmic sub-structures and rhythmic accents
timbre sequences
arpeggios.
The result is an uncanny tour-de-force concentrated on the history of
post-classical music in the past century.
