Water Siter

 

2 prepared harpsichord & Erard vleugel (a period piano),

2015.

​

 

Performed with a graphic score, “Water Siter” uses the idea of an adaptation of Javanese traditional scale (namely, slendro) into a harpsichord’s tuning system, the Javanese siter’s traditional playing technique, and a mimetic interpretation of a physical movement of water. This composition is aimed to be performed with improvisation guided by the score and the direction.
