Hi everyone!
It's my pleasure to introduce Collab 4, from another of our composers. Composer, performer, and improviser Elizabeth Yung Cheung messes around with the skeletal sounds of solo instruments and chamber settings, cataloguing the noises your teacher tells you not to make during lessons. They've kindly agreed to do some pieces for Erhu, but have some interesting prompts in mind: they're looking for pieces that explore the sound potential of the instrument, rather than attempts at writing faux traditional music. Therefore, they have a preference for graphic scores in this case, although some notated music isn't out of the question.
Liz says about their parameters:
GRAPHIC SCORES - up to 5min
- be as specific as you like! otherwise i will probably be interpreting it very personally NOTATED SCORES - 2-3min - no quick chromatic passages please! - think approx. ameb grade 4/5/6 on violin level??? maybe? heck
- Strings are tuned to D & A, but scordatura is possible.
- due Sunday, 5th of April
If you'd like to explore other instruments in Liz' arsenal, they also have access to an E dizi and a G dizi (and picc, C flute, alto flute).
Here is a performance of Liz', exploring sounds with the Erhu: https://soundcloud.com/greytonguelizzed/vii-hypothermia?in=greytonguelizzed/sets/hits-rather-close-to-home-2018&fbclid=IwAR0efJD2nlZSQ2HQpc8GtK7HlLy-CEEfObHZxSyo-svGkqwIz8PUxEvt8oo
