FreeHand MusicPad Pro
The Pacifica Quartet road tests a digital sheet music reader
We fire up a quartet of MusicPad Pro electronic music screens, which display digitized versions of sheet music, and cross our fingers. The suspense has been building for a month since we first decided to use these things in a performance. Simin Ginatra, our first violinist, gets up to turn off the lights in the cabin. The blue light reflected from the screens and off our faces is all that remains. Brandon Vamos, with a smirk, joins in the festivities by whispering out a faint echo of Also Sprach Zarathustra on his cello—think 2001, the movie.
With perhaps a little excess drama, the stage is set and we’re ready to see what these babies can do.
