—scordatura (stacked augmented triad) = with the ridges of a plastic lid of a glass jar, slowly crank/turn such that
the ridges repeatedly strike the string, creating a tremolo effect.
the purpose of the compressed and evenly-spaced tuning is to
emphasize the canceling-out effect that occurs when one slowly
strums down the strings (vi-v-iv-iii-ii-i) while simultaneously
executing an descending glissando with the slide. The result is a = using same plastic lid as above, strike all strings; in some cases the
series of glissandi emanating from a single pitch. performer is requested to drop and let bounce.
—load the video fle, degradative-interference_B onto mobile device and use an app
that allows infnite looping to playback the media.
