Editorial Reviews
Mark Sullivan, Option
The title refers to the players' need to use their whole bodies in performance, walking around the instrument, stroking and striking the strings. Tuned in just intonation and relying harmonically on the diatonic scale, the long strings create a wash of drones and overtones. The commanding appearance and live acoustics are undoubtedly muted in a recording, reducing the effect to something akin to someone playing the internal wiring of a piano with a bow. Even when the strings are being plucked or struck rather than stroked as on the short piece "Space Between" the instrument is too resonant to sound sharply percussive. But there's more to the music than atmospherics, as Fullman has demonstrated in her exploration of melodic development and extended harmony.
"Blue" Gene Tyranny, All Music Guide
Five more astonishing compositions on long string sculpture-instruments, including the marvelously flowing "Work for 4," performed on a 145-foot-long string installation, already a modern classic. "Space Between" surprisingly produces some sounds normally associated with electronic music, and "Body Music" suggests a kind of celestial Delta-blues with its bar chording technique. A CD that will appeal to many listeners.
