Laurence Crane: The magic of E-bows
Contemporary classical composer Laurence Crane talks to Hear & Now about his use of E-bows in his music. Traditionally used on electric guitars to create a sound reminiscent of using a bow on the strings, Laurence instead uses E-bows in his compositions on pianos, harps and other instruments to create beautiful, haunting drone sounds.
Laurence Crane's Sound of the Week featured on Hear and Now on 28 October 2017.
