The Tell-Tale Heart

I'm still working on getting all my analog recordings of performances online. Here's another: The Tell-Tale Heart, based on Edgar Allen Poe's poem of the same name, by Ilya Levinson. Levinson called for a saw blade in this piece. I picked up a large circular saw blade at Ace Hardware. The saw blade worked well mounted on a cymbal stand and was exactly what the composer intended to hear. However, I give one bit of advice: be very, very careful when you reach over to mute the sound. Ouch!
