Simon Steen-Andersen StudyForStringInstrument - 2

Study for String Instrument #2
for string instrument and whammy pedal

- Set whammy pedal to 2 octaves upward glissando.
- Use a contact microphone (on the body) - possibly in combination with a miniature dpa - or any other mics
that are able to make the "whammy melody effect" of the ending (m. 121).
- The amplified forte should be loud but not unpleasant.
- The acoustic sound of the cello should be barely audible - use a practice mute if it is too audible.
- The whammy pedal can be played by the cello player or by a second player on stage as a duo.
- All glissandi should should be even; starting right away and arriving at the other extreme on the next beat.
- The whammy glissando is not linear - when there is time try to compensate so that the result is as even a glissando as possible
(when the same tone is played on the cello) or as steady a tone as possible (when the cello is playing a glissando in the opposite direction).
- The piece can be played by several string instruments in unison.
- Instrument system: Choose one string to play on, lower line means deep tone (not the open string), upper line means the same tone two octaves higher.

Tap on the body with a finger to change the "tone" of the whammy pedal ...
Change possition, dynamic, finger, etc., if necessary to change the tone try with open and dampened strings to find the biggest effect. This effect
might rely on the microphone - try different mics to find the optimal solution ...
(ideally the same tone stays, when changing the position

of the tremolo - only the color of the tone should change)
