Body Music
Ellen Fullman
Fullman explores the dimensionality of harmony and the concept of "Music as Sculpture" in this thoughtful, rich set of pieces performed on the Long String Instrument. The locations of the performers (besides Fullman, Danièle Massie and Scott Lehman) are organized so that the matrix of overtones, created when playing the wires, goes through transformations sequentially, in effect, "twisting space." "An incredible quietude flows out of this music...Listening, one becomes conscious of the inner workings of being..." Jean Christophe Ammann, Kunsthalle, Basil
Fluctuations
Monique Buzzarte & Ellen Fullman
"Monique Buzzarté and Ellen Fullman began working together in June 2005. These collaborative compositions are rooted in tonalities that unfold with unexpected possibilities. Buzzarté's trombone navigates and merges through an infinite array of distinct overtones from Fullman's Long String Instrument. With slight timbral variations and pitch juxtapositions, sympathetic resonances articulate overtone colorations and threads of resultant melodic fragments emerge and intertwine."
