eftah

eftah (jeremy bleich – oud / andrew stoltz – digital audio)i am very pleased to announce the release of eftah the fruit of 12 months of careful development of composition/form/improvisation and electronic manipulation sourced from this amazing ancient instrument.this music began as a collaboration between andrew stoltz and jeremy bleich for an art installation but changed shape when the duo got invited to perform at the nweamo international electronic music festival (www.nweamo.org) and high mayhem (www.highmayhem.org). the focus was then shifted to produce a full length recording made available for the fall festival tour.the oud is used as the main sound source (w/ some voice and clapping added). the instrument is recorded in complete performance and sampled as individual sound and then manipulated via computer to create the final recordings.there are also 3 short songs included- solo oud pieces recorded using various techniques.chekcout www.jeremybleich.com or www.andrewstoltz.com to purchase the disk. . .. . ... .
