Donnacha Dennehy: Overstrung (excerpts)

Donnacha Dennehy: Overstrung (2010) for amplified acoustic violin and soundtrack written for Monica Germino (violin) and Frank van der Weij (sound) The New York Times, about OVERSTRUNG: "Monica Germino Puts Electronics and Violin Together, and Myriad Sounds Ensue" "In Donnacha Dennehy's "Overstrung" for amplified acoustic violin and soundtrack, a few well-placed pizzicato notes helped to ground the static flyaway sound of digitally processed harmonics. It felt sometimes as if the overtones of the notes themselves had entered into a conversation with one another." by Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, June 2013 Donnacha Dennehy: "The attraction of doing anything with electronics or recorded sound for me is in trying to create some sort of imaginative world not possible in the purely acoustic realm. For a while now I've been drawn to the idea of exploring the textural/harmonic world created by using overtone-based harmony. The electronic part is made by multi-tracking various violin lines (and special thanks is due to Monica for her enormous assistance here). The player produces many of these lines solely by executing patterns of harmonics, usually played in a very deliberate flautando fashion. In order to produce different harmonies, the same patterns were done with different scordaturas (producing harmonics on F#, Bb, B, etc.), as I didn't want a limited overtone-harmonic world confined to the normal open-string tuning of the violin. Not wishing either to be limited to the first 8 or so easily obtainable harmonics of each string, many patterns were re-tuned precisely using a piece of software to produce higher harmonics such as 11, 13 etc. You could say that the soundtrack metaphorically supplies the overtone-strings to the normal strings of the live player. Overstrung was written for Monica Germino and commissioned by Gaudeamus Muziekweek/Muziek Centrum Nederland and Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival."
