Finally, I’ve managed to upload the other of the two videos produced by Daryl Buckley, guitarist and artistic director of ELISION, that announce our collaboration on a new composition for electric lap-steel guitar.
In this second video, Daryl and I begin to explore the potential soundworlds the lap-steel guitar has to offer and discuss the various ways in which some of the conceptual ideas from the first video could potentially be activated in the new composition. It’s really a video about the first exploratory steps composer/performers make together prior to the pen hitting the page for the first time.
Oh, and stay tuned for the little bit after the credits at the end. Daryl said that he couldn’t resist putting in the final cut!
Hope all is good with everyone, let me know your news!
