difficult interesting pieces http://www.alansondheim.org/difficult0.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/difficult1.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/difficult2.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/difficult3.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/difficult4.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/difficult5.mp3 working on difficult pieces and instruments, all with songs by Azure Carter. the first is the Vietnamese dan moi, the second (which is a simpler instrument) is the Larson parlor guitar, the third and fourth are the Cambodian tro, the fifth is the most unusual, the four-bladed Chinese mouth-harp - the kouqin, and the sixth is the Balochistani ghichak. all of these are hard pieces; my favorite is the first, but all of them except the parlor guitar work with unusual sounds and techniques. we're recording again (vinyl and cd), and these are some of the things we'll be working with.
