frank denyer and other instrument builders

Hal Rammel!! He's one of my faves. He made this instrument he calls the "sound palette", it's like a painter's palette that he holds and plucks and bows. Totally great to watch him manipulate the thing live. He's created a bunch of things though. he also runs the Penumbra record label.

thanks, stormy, I'll check it out.

here's the thread I mentioned: Microtonality

"Elsewheres", the very first penumbra release, is hugely enjoyable: similar effects that I happen to have heard on many other electroacoustic recs - despite the v diff instrumentation - re-appear on this set, but from the one listen, the pacing is generally slower, though I've not heard many electroacoustic records for a long while so maybe its not a v useful comment. But the pacing does give you more time to digest the form and shape, and it's the better for that.
