Event Description

One of the most fascinating musicians on the scene is Ellen Fullman. Twenty years ago Fullman began developing her enormous Long String Instrument, a 100-foot horizontal harp with 100 parallel strings attached to a spruce soundboard. It is the largest string instrument in the world, the only one of its kind. It produces an astonishing variety of sounds, including a continuous, cloud chamber swell you'd swear was electronic; a whistling reminiscent of Tuvan throat singers; the warbling, sympathetic vibrations of an Indian tamboura; and, when palmed like a drum, short bursts, like a Thai bamboo harmonica... The subtle, sensual shifting of overtones, as they float in and out of the fundamental pitch is an almost sculptural experience, the sonic equivalent of watching a very active Northwest sky.

-Paul de Barros, Seatttle Times, 2000
