about

(dan bau, cello, strings).
Stretched strings somehow seem connected to the sinews of the human body — muscle, tendons, and voice. Tension and relaxation through sensitive touch and vibrations that rattle the bones. Here is a 3D trio for bent, bowed and rubbed strings: one, a monochord that mimics the Vietnamese tonal language by means of plucked harmonics and a buffalo horn whammy bar; the next, bowed natural harmonics of the cello; and lastly, rosined fingertips exciting the longitudinal vibrations of the Long String Instrument. String theory meets string practice: the shadow of my shadow is my light.
