about

Ghosts, for amplified viola d’amore, was written during a residency in Paris in 2008 for Garth Knox. The title refers to images conjured up whilst working in the Irish Cultural Institute (a place with a long history) late at night. The title also refers to an acoustic peculiarity of the viola d’amore itself: beneath its seven strings the instrument has seven sympathetic strings, which create a resonant halo around the bowed tones. These sympathetic strings are amplified in the last section of the piece and asks the player to pluck them directly at the end, allowing these phan-tom resonators to speak with their own voice. www.edbennett.co.uk
