Solo bass clarinet with electronics
by Rebecca Danard
After witnessing my first experiment for percussionist plus laptop performer, clarinetist Rebecca Danard wanted me to write a laptop improvisation piece for her, so I eventually did.
Rebecca suggested that we work with pentatonic scales for our improvisation, so I created ten cells of notes (ranging from low to high) based on four Japanese pentatonic scales, then I recorded Rebecca improvising with the notes of these cells—all forty of them. The recordings of these improvisations were then electronically processed; this is included in the second clarinet part.
You can also find an adaptation (SftGG 2.1) available for (acoustic) clarinet ensemble, as well as SftGG SARS-CoV 2 for flex ensemble.
