[NewMusic] Ellen Fullman also in the Wire

[Matt Davignon]

Ellen Fullman also has a 1/4 page photo in this month's Wire, with this nice
text about her performance in a UK festival:

"Next, brightly lit in the other chambre, Ellen Fullman walked like an
inspired somnambulist along a raised platform, her rosined fingers
activating extremely long string, 15 (by my reckoning) grouped on either
side of her. There are imitators, but Fullman is the originator and finest
exponent of the Long Stringed Instrument. Her measured progress through
three disticnt pieces was accompanied by a swell of sublime, harmonically
complex and texturally vibrant music. Percussionist Sean Meehan rubbed a
stick placed on a cymbal on a snare drum; Fullman's ethereal soundings
washed around the intractability of his fixed pitch".


Finally got to read the SoftWetFish review - maybe I'm naive, but I thought
it was entirely positive.
