Blue Hen Falls Duets

These improvised duets come from Blue Hen Falls, in the Cuyahoga Valley, near Peninsula, OH. Jenna Barvitski, Violin; Andrew Meyer, Saxo.





While improvising near the waterfall, Jenna observed that distinct rhythms seemed to come out in the sound of the water falling as different timbres and textures were created. Due to the large amount of rock the sound seemed to fill the area and was thrown right back along with the sounds of the water.





In another location, further up into the woods, the sound was drastically different. There was still a natural reverb, possibly even more than when surrounded by rock at the waterfall, but with a different quality. In this location the sound was more fleeting and seemed to go out into the landscape for as far as it could be heard before dissipating.
