Breaking a String

 Garret,

 The audio is available on this website?

The piece wound up being nine minutes long so you will have to do some 
editing, but the composer says that you are free to use it. 

Cheers from here,

Alan Eder

Alan,



Would you happen to be able to get a copy say as a .wav file?? It
might make a great ringtone or startup sound on the computer.



Kindest Regards,



Garret

Here at the Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts, we had a
student compose a piece a few years ago that involved breaking a string by
tuning it it ever sharper until... recording the sound, which was then
processed as part of a live laptop improvisation. ?The piano I designated
for this was an old Baldwin F. ?If memory serves, we chose a note
somewhere in the vicinity of C5 (though I don't recall exactly why). ?In
the "rehearsal", we got it to go about a fourth sharp before the
over-stressed wire gave up the ghost. ?How far sharp you can go depends on
the percentage of the breaking point the wire is at "normal" pitch.

YMMV.
