ABOUT THE PIECE: Music for Wood and Strings (2015)
Bryce Dessner: For several years I have been experimenting with simple chorales in my music that utilize triadic chord inversions that are aligned in complex rhythm patterns to create a kaleidoscopic effect of harmony. These feature heavily in my work for orchestra and two guitars, St Carolyn by the Sea (2011), and the writing for my song cycle, The Long Count (2009).
While I have used this technique on guitars and strings, I have not had the opportunity to apply it to percussion instruments.
For this new Sō Percussion piece I have been working with instrument builder Aron Sanchez (Blue Man Group, Buke and Gase) to design four dulcimer-like instruments to be played by the quartet. These are simply designed double course string instruments which are played like a dulcimer, but which are specifically built and tuned to implement a more evolved hybrid of the chorale hocket.
Each instrument is amplified using piezo pickups and will have 8 double-course strings tuned to two harmonies. With the use of dulcimer mallets, the quartet players can easily sound either harmony, or play individual strings, melodies, and drone tremolos. There are alto, two tenors and a bass instrument which can play fretted chromatic bass lines. With these elements as well as a few pieces of auxiliary percussion - bass drum, wood block – the work is about 35 minutes long. -
Конечно, если бы весь альбом молотили палочками и "пилили" по струнам то слушатели, вероятно, умерли со скуки, но нет - музыка и динамика произведения "Music for Wood and Strings" очень разнообразна - помимо "смычковой" игры и стучащих по струнам палочек есть и просто strumming/бренчание руками и извлечение флажолетов, все это перекликается по динамике и панораме. Периодически подключается акустическая бас-гитара и прочие инструменты.

Очень необычный, хотя местами и оглушающий накатывающим длительным звоном дребезжащих струн, но все же, атмосферный и вдохновляюще-массирующий мозг альбом.
