guitar and digital media
5 minutes
commissioned by Benjamin Wedeking
Note
stringstrung, for guitar and digital media, was commissioned by and is dedicated to my dear friend, Benjamin Wedeking. The digital audio is entirely derived from acoustic guitar samples. The work is loosely inspired by the strings of a guitar and the last stanza of “87” by E.E. Cummings:
what a wonderful thing
is the end of a string
(murmurs little you-i
as the hill becomes nil)
and will somebody tell
me why people let go
-- E.E. Cummings
