Touch Point : for solo violin / Damien Ricketson.
Library shelf no. 787.2/RIC 3 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
Touch Point is an etude for solo violin exploring the intimate tactile connection between performer and instrument. The cyclic and repetitive work is characterised by a stream of unbroken tones oscillating perpetually between firm and light touch. The metaphor of touch also reflects my ongoing interest in the phenomenon of frisson - goosebumps or 'aesthetic chills' - that connect the sensations of touch and the experience of music.
