about

Performed on Dyer harp mandolins, Larson brothers 5-course harp mandola, Dyer harp guitar.
This piece is based on a simple riff that I came up with in the 1990’s on my Gibson mandocello – just something that sounded cool on the giant cello-pitched mandolin. Finding myself with this group of all Larson-built instruments, I adapted it, changing the key to fit on the octave/tenor mandola with harp guitar doubling it an octave lower. Next was to come up with interesting things for the dual mandolins to do. Finally, finding places for the mandola and harp guitar to fit percussion in (assorted hits and knocks on the bodies, with the occasional slap harmonics) was the fun part. While for the most part I eschewed “special effects” reverb for this album, this piece just begged for it.
