Description:

The works on this album all use scordatura (irregular tuning) on the violin. Scordatura is a technique used by composers when they seek a sound that cannot be achieved with normal tuning, and it has the effect of bringing tension to the listener and making him or her feel a world out of the ordinary. Starting with Biber's Rosary Sonata, which is considered a masterpiece of this technique, through Ysaye and Saint-Saens' "Dance of Death" to contemporary works, this album is an attempt to express the title "Extended Reality" by performing the works using three violins and seven different tunings. The album is performed by Valeria Tsutsu. Valeria Zorina is a violinist from Moldavia.
