Wooden Eye

Harrison, James

About the work

A very energetic piece with a slightly Stravinskian feel. Lots of rhythmic variety, ‘dislocation’ and frequent changes of metre make this a stimulating and exciting work.

First Performance: ELLSO, Jun 1992, East End Festival, London

Technical notes

Wide range of articulation demanded, and dynamic details; some false harmonics. Rhythmic variety and ‘dislocation’; frequent changes of metre; some tricky intervals to pitch.Textural variety; requires commitment (and, in some places, aggression)
