About

Series of pieces for scordatura violin (scordatura: the tuning of violin strings to non-standard pitches). A variety of effects is achieved by altering the tension of the strings and their harmonic relationship. Each of the 27 different tunings has a distinctive resonance. Inspired by Heinrich Von Biber's Mystery Sonatas (circa 1685).
