(duration 13′ 44” -For best audio experience listen to the work with headphones.)

Making a wine glass “sing” is a common pastime after finishing a nice dinner.
The eerie, macabre sound quality of a “singing wine glass” has always fascinated me.
For this acousmatic piece “Glass” I used source material derived solely from recordings of crystal glasses of all kinds. Pinging the glasses with the fingers or sticks (wooden/plastic/metal), rubbing around rim of the glass, etc. enhancing the sound world of the Glass Harmonica by means of acousmatic techniques.
