"organistrum:prototype is a long-string sound installation that is bowed by rosined, rotating wheels: a principal borrowed from the vielle à roue (hurdy gurdy/Drehleier/zanfoña/ghironda/etc). The piece is notional and is intended to be adaptable to different installation environments. Therefore it will always be a prototype.
In this iteration, six strings of between 20 and 32 metres (about 65-105 feet) in length are activated by rosined wheels under computer control. They are amplified by a resonator made of a large arch of fibreglass. Strings of such lengths behave in many unusual ways and the sound you are hearing is completely acoustic and untreated."
