Artist Thoughts: Pedro Carneiro |

"I used small rosewood castanets for my recording of Cassiopeia, a concerto for percussion and large orchestra by renowned Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu.
The castanets are in fact, the first instrument to be heard in the piece. They have a powerfull, yet sumptuous tone. Plus, the handle's Micro-Adjust tone control made it a lot easier to play this passage precisely, as the performer has to walk and move whilst playing the castanets!" |
