Forum | Week 2 | David Harris and His Contrabulous Fabtraption

David Harris presented all the things that make him warm inside- Terra Rapture (his own composition) and a Schubert work for strings. His own piece made great use of sul ponticello, which requires the player to bow the string very close to the bridge. The sound is scratchy and airy, and is very effective when done by a quartet. I enjoyed Terra Rapture more then the Schubert, as is was more unpredictable and less contrived. This class made me pine for the Forums of old, where DH would play us music from his eclectic collection of LPs.

Stay tuned for a real Photoshoppery.
