'94 strings' for violin, 2 sarods and electronics
by Ole Andre Farstad and Alice Barron
45 strings: two sarods (24 + 21 strings), pre-recorded
4 strings: live violin
45 strings: two live sarods

‘94 strings’ emerged from experimentations in colour, timbre and texture, using the sarod, an indigenous stringed instrument from north India.  Ole has recorded both plucked and bowed sounds from two sarods being played in unconventional ways using contact microphones.  The violin integrates within and contrasts with the sound world of the sarod.
