Hal,
Thanks for posting those last two clips! Maybe this hints at the direction of a hypothetical Series III with otherworldly electronics hybridized with the current Alembic sonic concepts and unmatched Old World wood craftsmanship. If anyone can do this tastefully and keep the organic vibe, Alembic can.
An added bonus? No more broken strings (see concurrent thread).
Hal, your mind is like rust...it never sleeps. I look forward to your magical Jester. Between you and Alembic it should be totally killer! Please keep me posted on its gestation.
