Jeremy Thurlow - Ouija
Peter Sheppard Skaerved violin
"Ouija" is a 2012 musical work for solo violin and electronics composed by Jeremy Thurlow and premiered by the Grammy-nominated British violinist Peter Sheppard Skærved.
Inspiration:The piece was inspired by the historical "table-tapping" obsession of the Hungarian violinist Jelly d'Aranyi and her sister, Adila Fachiri. The two sisters famously used talking boards and séances to "communicate" with deceased composers like Robert Schumann, which famously led to the modern discovery of Schumann's Violin Concerto.
The piece was developed during a close creative partnership and workshop process between Thurlow and Skærved in early 2012. It serves as a study in how acoustic violin playing interacts dynamically with electronic manipulation.
