L@TE: Ellen Fullman: Tracings

Thirty years ago, Ellen Fullman began developing her lifework, the Long String Instrument. Dozens of metallic strings, some seventy feet long, will stretch in parallel across our gallery space, and rosin-coated fingers will brush across the strings, producing a chorus of organ-like overtones that has been likened to the experience of standing inside an enormous grand piano. In her return to the L@TE program, Fullman brings a new work called Tracings, a chamber ensemble piece composed for two sites: BAM/PFA and Battle Hall in Austin. The composition incorporates sounds and harmonies based on the meticulously measured architectural features and resonant frequencies of each building.
