Duo for Solo Cello by Sarah J. Ritch

invocation. radio signals from deep space. pizzicato plucks over drones. process. a pure tone emerges. builds and fades and drops. re-establishes and re-strengthens. a pulse in the background. release and descent. evening acoustics. swirling wood. strings breathing long tones. string theory is an exploration of the acoustic structures of strings and sines. the tracks range from strictly notated tonal music (sonata de kinor) to improvised noise (duo for solo cello).
