about

The material for this solo CD was recorded primarily as a document of the preparations and techniques I was exploring at the end of March 2012 and as a reference point, for myself, to a time when I had actively stopped teaching for 3 months in order to clear space for my own projects. I hear the six studies as work in progress sketches and not necessarily as finished pieces. The preparations and techniques lead the music and I am looking to see how much I can draw out of each one before moving onto the next. The violin is acoustic, the preparations used are a small plastic peg, a spring and a nail file and the silences are kept alive as they were in the actual recording so as to reveal as much of the process as possible.
