Saz playing up on Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/tags/alternative%20saz https://soundcloud.com/search?q=asondheim Two pieces: sazae1 is acoustic saz with close miking to pick up the sound/labor of fingers moving, tapping, etc. I used the miking to create finger taps, etc. as part of the improvisation. sazae2 is electric saz with the mic close to the solid-body instrument; it picked up the saz from the amplifier, and my tapping, etc. from the body of the instrument. Again, a kid of deliberate raggedness, working the instrument in a new way for me. At this point I seem to have the only "alternative saz" pieces on Soundcloud, which I'm also testing for an improv music class at Underacademy College, http://underacademycollege.wordpress.com/ .
