I was approached by musical artist/sound guru Phil Erb while I was playing on the street at Seattle's Pike Place Market. Phil is a sound explorer. We share some of the same fascination with playing with sound.
Phil's sensitivity to the sounds and harmonics that my saw can produce led him to capture a small sample of my saw playing as I attempted to bow in the third harmonic octave of my Mussehl and Westphal 30 inch baritone blade. I don't regularly explore that octave. It's too high pitched to be of use as I play the melodies that I usually offer.
Phil manged to manipulate the sample that he captured into one of the most unusual passages that I've ever heard. He granted me permission to share it and I'm thrilled to do so. You can check out what he was able to create, "third story of the sawmill" from among the songs on my profile.
It's spooky, eerie, ethereal, otherworldly and very powerful stuff. Enjoy!
