Prelude i
for clarinet and playback
2019
5’
commissioned by the Olyver New Music Collective
premiered by Holly Isherwood
This piece is written for one live and several pre-recorded clarinets. At times, the live clarinet triggers ‘digital’ equivalents in the playback, or seems to break away from it; at others, the recording gradually moulds the performer into its own image, and the live clarinet is lost into the electronic ether.
