Working in fairly heavy collaboration, Shawn Earle and myself came up with Memory Sustained as part of our co-taught course Composer/Performer Collaboration. This work first explores the barrier between tone and noise on the clarinet and secondly investigates some non-linear presentations of musical material.
Both of these elements of the work are enhanced through tracking, recording, and playing back the sound of the instrument during performance. At the time of writing we are working together on a fixed version of this work.
