Itch

for guitar solo
composed 1998; duration 2 minutes
commissioned by David Starobin

Composed for David Starobin’s collection of short dances. The piece makes much use of open strings in a kind of ‘crude’ playing in the lower register, where accents and pitches continuously change position. The rhythm is thus perceived as pulse, rather than as a fixed scheme.
