Okinawan Sanshin Prurrient http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/sanshin.mp3 thinking through http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/sanshin0.mp3 with heavy echo, slow http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/sanshin1.mp3 fast a strangely meditative instrument, similar to shamisen, usually played with a plectrum or right-hand index finger; what i've heard is uncanny, slow, beautiful. mine is antique with real snakeskin that needed repair (i wouldn't buy a new one with snakeskin; the animals are endangered). tuned Gcg, fretless, with a shorter neck than shamisen, coupled with a larger body and delicate bamboo bridge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanshin http://www.alansondheim.org/ prurr pngs background to pru http://www.alansondheim.org/pru.mp4 sparkles up 4 ever and 1 day http://www.alansondheim.org/prurr.mp4 breathless up 4 short time only (what happens when sexuality speeds thru multiple screen distortions; what happens to the gaze, diegesis, arousal)
