Description
“Longitudes” is a work written for The Overtone Ensemble utilising microtonally tuned ‘vibrissae’ instruments as well as other acoustic instrumentation including bowed guitars, handbells and long wire instruments. The piece aims to take advantage of the unique acoustics of the Design Hub at RMIT (where this was recorded live as part of Liquid Architecture 2013) and its long reverberation times, high ceilings,and bright sound, to further amplify and extend the unique sonic signature of the rod instruments and produce an immersive and enveloping sonic environment.
