Five Movements for Electric Guitar

Guitarist composer Doug Kolmar has just put up a new piece at MP3.com;
"Five Movements for Electric Guitar" that was first performed at the
1989 New Music America Festival in NY.

He also sent me this brief description which I thought I'd pass along
for anyone who might be interested...

"This piece was a real jumping off point for me into the more
intentionally microtonal world. It is a model for my through composed
works that explore microtones especially the string quartet White.

Five Movements starts out by exploring the immediate crevices around
one pitch in movement one. Movement 2 expands that by exploring the
beat relationships produced when harmonics of that same pitch are
produced on different strings. In movement 3 the microtonality is
incidental - characteristic of the sound but not the structure,
movement 4 is pretty much diatonic, and movement 5 takes that very
focused beam of the first movement and diffuses it into a kind of
undulating cloud - so here again the microtones are more coloristic
than formal."
