(De)composition explores the myriad of sounds possible on a string instrument. These sounds are regularly used in movie music to highlight the storyline, feeling, or character. Musicians use the wood part of the bow, slide their fingers on the fingerboard, play with their bow on the wrong side of the bridge, and many other techniques to create this creepy and mysterious (de)composition.Performance SuggestionsStudents hear extended techniques in movies, TV shows, and even commercials. These sounds are expressive and contextually meaningful but are rarely used in student-level orchestra music. In (De)composition, the extended techniques are essential to the overall sound and structure. Glissandi help students move their hands out of first position but allow the freedom of playing random notes. In addition, students will use their bows in new ways, such as chop, behind the bridge, tremolo, sul ponticello, and col legno.
