S̜w͚a̎r̍m̸ is a live-sampling instrument. It was originally built for the singular purpose of capturing live instrument input and playing it back as a drone. On this recording that idea is extended to include other sound possibilities. This is an improvisation with Sophia Shen and her pipa. S̜w͚a̎r̍m̸is not a composition itself but a framework for improvisation. It works well with any melodic instrument. Past successful performances included violin, music box, and chimes respectively.
