Kraig Grady, an Anaphorian now living in Australia, composes almost exclusively for acoustic instruments of his own making or modification tuned to just intonation. Often his work is combined with his Shadow Theatre productions.
Kraig will be performing on a two of his favorite instruments. The first is retuned vibraphone that now encompasses a scale known as Meta-Slendro. This scale, developed by Erv Wilson and likewise found among the people of Anaphoria Island, comprises natural harmonics that occur in a recurrent sequence similar to the Fibonacci series. Grady has selected out of this infinitely long series, one of those found upon the ‘slopes’ of a 2,000 year old Indian figure known as Meru Prastara. Due to the strong reinforcement and interaction various acoustical phenomenon, the music often ventures into explorations in room resonance. He will also be playing upon a large custom built Hammer Dulcimer which uses a scale informed by the Chopi People of Mozambique. Although their instruments are wooden the manner of design and form and scale represents gamelan instruments to such a degree it has sparked much speculation of a cross influence between the two.
