CREATION
Late prototype of the zither
Creation is the second performance show created for a chapel or other highly reverberant space. It consists of a self-made instrument, and a number of singing bowls and chimes spread throughout the building and remotely triggered, to create an enveloping sound-field around the space.
The central instrument is a seven string zither that utilises four bridges to create a range of overtones and playing options, as well as a robotic player mechanism and rotating plectrum.
The full setup consists of zither, voice, bells, chimes and electronics and multi-channel surround, the number and location of speakers depending on the space.
Made with support from Cryptic.
Duration: approx 1 hour
Previous shows: Sonica @ Paisley Abbey, Glasgow
