coma - car rag

No! 003: Violin musings from a hot car. Sweat slips and slides up and down necks and over hands. Slowly the instrument loses tune.

Car Rag is a collection of solo violin musings created in a vehicle in various geographic areas. Lullabies and laments, a collection of experiments with low string drones and deconstructed waltzes. Dances and dreams and too-long fingernails stop strings. Thirteen years of classical training and all there is to show for it is grated strings.
