Program Notes
This piece for solo violin and digital delay is inspired by three traditional South American icaros (a Quechua term for songs used in shamanic healing ceremonies), as performed by Guillermo Arevalo from recordings appearing in Jan Kounen’s 2004 film D’autres mondes. It is approximately 7 minutes in length, and requires the use of a tap delay pedal triggered by the performer.
