Sweet Garuda
http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/1217 (best) http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/sweetgaruda.mp3 Played on the 'Garuda lute,' an otherwise unidentified instrument most likely from Indonesia. It's fretless; I have three strings on it (fifth/fourth) and the melodic work develops as a theme is taken up about half-way through. Here I am in Providence, proving to myself I still can play something, in this case on an unknown instrument. The melody becomes luscious some- where near the end, and the full range of the lute is explored. I should add that there is provision for a fourth string (the lute needed extensive repair), but due to the delicate nature of the top, I'm using only three. Enjoy. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
