Improvised Solos Duos Trios

This CD takes the development of the alternative sounds of the clarinet together with normal tones to make a unique audio experience. This is a totally new development. The solo's were recorded onto open reel tape, so no editing has occurred. The duos were recorded onto a multi track tape machine, the first improvisation was performed, and this was then learnt then the second improvisation was played on top of it. With the trio's the same process was used but a third was added. These improvisations really push the boundaries of present listening. The blend of all the techniques that I am comfortable to improvise in has created a blend of tones, melodies and harmonies that I have never heard before, outside of my playing. Melody is always an overriding concern throughout my playing. Playing for purely sound effects or technical ability is a waste of time. My melodies are in another sound domain but I endeavor to make them a natural development of the normal sounds of Western Art Music. Too embrace Western art music in an improvisational form has been so far a 20-year endeavor.
