Description
“Wind Bowing” is a piece for percussion ensemble influenced by an experience with wind and nature itself when two friends and I took a walk around George W. Mead State Wildlife Area in Central Wisconsin. As musicians and artists, we chose to bring some instruments out into this organic setting, experiencing the simplest acoustic opportunity as much as we could. One instrument, the ukulele, was creating some beautiful noises and timbres with the help of the wind. This wind was naturally bowing the strings of the ukulele, exciting them in the purest sense. This was a wonderful experience and I hope “Wind Bowing” can represent it meaningfully.
