Ellen Fullman’s work resides between the fields of sound art and music. Her primary activity has been the development of the Long String Instrument, a fifty foot plus string instrument in which rosin-coated fingers brush across dozens of metallic strings, producing a chorus of minimal organ-like overtones. In CONSTRUCTING A MUSICAL PHRASE FROM THE GROUND UP, Fullman leads a hands-on workshop exposing the research behind her musical language, culminating in an audience participatory performance of an excerpt from O Sleep, recently performed as part of Extended Play.

This workshop is planned in conjunction with O Sleep, an improvised opera exploring the science and mystery of sleep and dream life and featuring composer/performer Theresa Wong, Michael Carter, Luciano Chessa, Shayna Dunkelman, Ellen Fullman, Dohee Lee, Heike Liss and Alice Wu.
