during their reign of terror fifty years ago in Cambodia, no one knew how to play the Kse Diev. The instrument has a single brass string and a gourd resonator. It probably goes back to 7th Century and there are pictures of it on the walls of Angkor Wat.
Sok Duch survived, pretended he was a barber.
Still, people had to find him, help him back to good health, and bring students to learn from him. Sinat was one of his first students, someone from a village nearby who has now become a modern Master of the traditional Khmer instruments. It has changed his life.
The Kse Diev, which resonates into the chest of the player over the heart, has survived. It is returning to shows, events, and weddings in Cambodia now.
No way it could be sent into a computer over the Internet and into Virtual Reality.
The Kse Diev is a subtle instrument. Sinat has to pluck the brass string with a weird finger pick and also control how it vibrates and what sound it makes with a little cord at the top.
I didn’t think the sound would be loud or clear enough to make out the twelve or more individual notes he can produce. I had a short video of him playing all cued up.
It wasn’t necessary.
With the microphone right at the gourd, a very pure and distinctive sound somehow made it along a digital pathway to the AltspaceVR servers and from there into our ears as disturbed air caused by Sinat’s control of the string back in Phnom Penh.
