the unstruck sound orchestra
The Unstruck Sound Orchestra is the name I gave to my hand built microtonal orchestra, and to the players. This is the band in rehearsal in 2002 at Jedburgh Community and Arts Centre (formerly St John's Schoolhouse). From left to right, Leon McCarron, James Wyness, Eric Harris, Finlay McDermid, Steve Lauder. The instruments in use are; bowed psaltery, zithers, steel tube marimbas, slit drums, long gongs, rumba box, cut glass bowls, tuned gongs and found percussion. The piano is there because of an ancient bylaw which states that every Community Centre shall have one. |
