the door http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/1232 (best) http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/thedoor.mp3 long-necked saz this tune or sequence has numerous floating tonics, or what might pass for tonics. there's a door in the body of the saz and i open it half-way through; at that point, the deeper drone notes come through and what seemed a surface scratching takes on amazing weight. there is a message in the descent over the long reach of the instrument, and playing it is, in itself, a beautiful and somatic experience.
