Video: Michael Bridge: 1812 Overture (Tchaikovsky) on Digital Accordion - Canadaby Harley Jones |
Recording from Michael Bridge's 2018 solo album, "Overture" available online. Michael Bridge writes: All sounds are performed live on Digital Accordion, without background music. This piece uses the digital accordion's ability to produce sounds that are sensitive to both swell (bellows) and finger velocity (percussion). Thus, a single performer can control a huge number of instrument sounds by assigning each one to a different section of the instrument. All percussion sounds are played with the left hand, and three chin switches facilitate turning various sounds on and off. Over 50 customized sound settings are used throughout this work. |
