2 strange interesting pieces of music http://www.alansondheim.org/zurna.mp3 double zurnas (tracks overlaid) http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/etc1.mp3 mirage ensoniq with grand organ samples from 1998? the zurna has a shenai mouthpiece; i'm working on intonation which is incredibly difficult for me, but fascinating. these were two short independent solos; mixing them shows how similar the envelopes are. the etc1 piece was recorded at the experimental television center in owego, new york. i was on a residency. i hadn't heard the organ for a long time; i'm amazed by the strange quality of the sound and chording.
