about

Where is based upon six charango improvisations. The instrument was steel strung and variously open tuned, picked, plucked, strummed, bowed, etc..

An attempt was made to combine elements of electro-acoustic sound design with somewhat traditional musics to form a more tonal acoustic assemblage. The charango merely unifies the entire project, granting it cohesiveness over its duration. Moments of abstract sound transform into gentle melodies, a sort of alien folk music emerging overall.
