Sonata for Bass Clarinet & Piano Sonata for Bass Clarinet & Piano
Exactly as the title says. I'm hoping for a live recording (and maybe even a performance... at some stage). Written primarily for the underused, but massively versatile bass clarinet - the piano part doesn't miss out on any of the excitment either.
Synth Wank Synth Wank
Short. I recently dug out my psuedo(that is, not at all)-analogue(styled) synth and knocked this out. For fun.
...forming substance out of chaos ...forming substance out of chaos
Again, an imperfect performance - inadequate rehearsal time etc. This piece attempts to depict the various chapters of the Kabbalah 'Sefer Yetzirah' in as abstracted a manner as possible. Includes Lutoslawski-esque controlled aleatoricism.
Interlude Interlude
A minature of sorts for a large chamber ensemble. Develops on a quintessentially modern musical language. Even some bird song styled flute and clarinet parts - originally depicting something scenic, like a beach, only with dark untertones.
String Quartet in Pelog String Quartet in Pelog
Short. A rehearsal performance of the piece, not without its share of mistakes. Note the major slip up soiling what should have been a dramatic change in texture signalling the dramatic apex.
I am a composer. I don't want to write music that patronises the listener by stultifying their ability to engage with art.Have you performed in front of an audience?I have done, but to be honest I don't really like it; It involves alot carrying.
More often than not people don't *really* listen. You're just giving the audience the chance to fulfill their 'I'm an independant thinker who says they like "new music"' role.
This romanticised idea of the 'live atmosphere' means nothing when you're getting pushed around by other 'fans' and the band just recreates exactly what is available on the recording... only now drowned out by mindless 'audience approval'.
