Ellen Fullman: Constructing a Musical Phrase from the Ground Up (An Extended Play Workshop) Ellen Fullman and Theresa Wong, "O Sleep"
Ellen Fullman's work resides between the fields of sound art and music. Her primary activity has been the development of the long string instrument, a fifty foot plus string instrument in which rosin-coated fingers brush across dozens of metallic strings, producing a chorus of minimal organ-like overtones. In Constructing a Musical Phrase from the Ground Up, Fullman leads a hands-on workshop exposing the research behind her musical language, culminating in an audience participatory performance of an excerpt from O Sleep, recently performed as part of Extended Play. This workshop is part of EXTENDED PLAY, a series of new, weekly live art performances and workshops, and is planned in conjunction with, O Sleep, a an improvised opera that will be performed on Friday, May 21 and Saturday, May 22, 2010 at Southern Exposure. Cost: $10 - $15 sliding scale
