If the sounds of musical instruments are to be graphically presented, the plucked-strings would be 'dots', and the bowed-strings would be 'lines'. The strings produce 'granular' notes when plucked, and 'linear' strains when bowed. When they are mingled with the wide ranging piano notes, they form a wonderful tapestry in our mind's eye as we listen. HKCO's Ge Yang, Cui Can, Li Li and Mao Qinghua demonstrate this engaging process in the upcoming concert, The Granular and the Linear. A cool, relaxing way to get away from the stress of urban living!
