VIOLIN SPACES: THE RAVEN

The bow is the breath of the violin. It imitates the breath of the violinist by playing without pitch, then whispers it’s ghostly melody under the breath. (Experiment #5A: November 2020)

VIOLIN SPACES: NO PITCH, NO PROBLEM

No pitch, no problem is a study in noise. How to enjoy sounds without worrying about ‘right’ notes and ‘wrong’ ones, and how to give them meaning. (Experiment #5B: November 2020)

VIOLIN SPACES: RICK O’SHEA

Rick O’Shea and his amazing circular bow juggling in many dimensions; up and down, sideways, round, with the hair and with the back of the bow, and of course ricochet! (Experiment #5C: December 2020)

VIOLIN SPACES: SKATING

Explores splitting notes into their sub-atomic particules like sul ponticello and related techniques. (Experiment #5D: December 2020)
