Original

Nico Muhly 's A Long Line for solo Violin and Electronics. ' A Long Line , for solo Violin and Electronics, was written for violinist Erik Carlson and was originally meant for performance as part of VisionIntoArt's 2003 show Democrazy. The piece is built around a series of chords played by Electric Organ and articulated by Bass Clarinet and Bass Drum. These chords gradually shorten over the length of the piece, as the Violin sings a long line over the texture. Towards the end of the piece, the Violin is instructed to play a pattern of fast notes 'like a string exercise, but extremely expressively. ' - Nico Muhly.
