Soundless, a work composed by Ellen Fullman (Long String Instrument) and Theresa Wong (cello, electric guitar, and electronics), explores the essence of string resonance to create a space of connection, empathy, and multiplicity. The piece combines the spectrally undulating drones of the Long String Instrument, rhythms created by Fullman’s uniquely designed ‘shoveler’ tool, and cello and electric guitar expanded into dimensional sound fields through four-channeled amplification. The piece was commissioned by room40 following the label’s critically acclaimed release of Fullman and Wong’s album, Harbors.

Wong and Fullman will share their processes for generating sounds and structures and talk about how they collaborate. They will demonstrate the way invention and design play a large role in their approach, including: all about the Long String Instrument, cello and electric guitar scordatura, extended harmonics, extended techniques, and using zip ties for guitar frets. They will demonstrate the digital tools that they use that make it possible to audition alternative tunings including: using TouchOSC for the iPad to make a Partch Diamond or tuning lattice, Pianoteq, Dorico with HEJI accidentals and a natural intervals harmonizer for Ableton. Wong and Fullman will show graphic charts that they have each designed to clarify the mechanical principles of string harmonics. The workshop will be conducted in an informal and interactive manner reflecting the interests of participants.

Fluency of Trees is a solo work exploring connection to the primal sentience of the natural world. The piece synergizes song forms, noise, and harmony through a unique timbral merging of amplified cello and voice. The work stems from the ongoing inquiry, “how can I rediscover the core of the cello as wood and string and hair, or even simply as a tree?” Originally premiered at the Other Minds Festival 2022 in San Francisco, this performance will include expanded and newly created material. This is a NYC premiere.
