string (concept: ongoing)

the use of physical string interests me in the way that it manifests the total interconnectedness of all things existing:

• as the synapses between bodies
• like lines of transmission
• nondetachable connections, leaving traces//impressions on the bodies they connect
• Chaos theory//the Butterfly effect – chaos and cosmos
• Process

//

i am composing a number of pieces currently which will utilise ‘string’ in various different ways during performance (and perhaps even during the compositional process, thought that idea has only emerged in my head since writing the last sentence…)

a piece exploring unknown sounds from an acoustic guitar played using nylon thread. interactions transmitted via string, onto other strings. focusing on a variety of interactions with the string, with the produced sound as by-product (a series of pieces to follow this idea).
