ellen fullman @ will rogers today & sunday
should have posted this yesterday. forwarded by fort worth symphony / flipside bassist extraordinaire paul unger:
Composer-performer Ellen Fullman brings her Long String Instrument (approximately 300 feet) to Fort Worth for the first time. She has presented her music across North America, Europe and Japan, solo and in collaboration with Kronos Quartet, Keiji Haino, and Pauline Oliveros, among others. For her Fort Worth debut, Fullman will perform a new solo composition Event Locations, for Long String Instrument and spy cameras, as well as duos and trios with cellist Theresa Wong and pedal steel guitarist Susan Alcorn.
“The instrument is deceptively simple: a loom of long metal wires played by one or more players who walk the length of the instrument, rubbing their fingers along the lengths of the strings, exciting it into vibration much as you would to get a crystal glass to sound. The sound is arresting-so much so that Fullman, who was a sculptor when she made the sound-making instrument, had devoted her energies over the decade she has lived in Austin to refining the sound...” -Jerry Young, Austin American Statesman
