“Theme for Two Psalteries” by Circumjacence

Posted by: Eric in Circumjacence Releases, Podcast

As I mentioned in the “DARP and Next” post from a few weeks ago, artistically I’ve been having some difficulties staying focused on just one sound or idea. Here is what I mean: “Theme for Two Psalteries” was recorded in September of last year. It was a quick sketch using a bowed psaltery, some parts played by hand and some parts played via a kit I built in Ableton Live’s Sampler.

Its a fun little “sketch”, and an idea / sound that I think has merit, but I have no idea how I would incorporate such a sound into my other work.

This reaminds me somewhat of the weird bowhammer dulcimer stuff that Masley does.

This guy used to and may still play alot on the streets in downtown Santa Cruz. Kinda an a**hole, but he has a nice sound.
