Good morning, Nostr 🌞

Getting back into the swing of things in my regular, non-festival life. Here’s a little morning warm-up improv. This is the first I’m touching the violin today.

I’ve tuned the violin in a special way. The lowest string is tuned down a semitone from the normal, so G is down to F♯. This gives the instrument a whole new resonance.

I used this same tuning in a piece of mine called “Cathedral Grove (and the Gray Jay)”, because to me it feels like being outside among the trees. 🌲

So here’s a little exploration as I look out my window this morning, onto the trees. Hope you enjoy it and I wish you a beautiful day ahead!
