Scales http://www.alansondheim.org/scales3.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/scales0.mp3 qinqin http://www.alansondheim.org/scales1.mp3 qinqin / sanshin http://www.alansondheim.org/scales2.mp3 sanshin http://www.alansondheim.org/scales9.jpg scales running on two unusual instruments - the Okinawan sanshin and the Chinese qinqin (the latter is a new instrument with seven equidistant frets to the octave). i'm running the Japanese in and various Chinese scales which are also mixed with Cambodian scales and at times something sounding like old-time banjo, too much confusion and too little accuracy perhaps on my part. i'm running everything to the limits of my ability, using constantly changing intervals played and replayed on one and another string... good learning here in Brooklyn, NY... good music the result...
