14 statements for contra bass clarinet
"[...] Pneuma_Extreme in 14 short pieces for what his modified, up to deep C contra bass clarinet is capable of. It begins with an almost classical motif, and what follows is most likely to be described as associations: a kind of gamelan music, gulls laughter and croaking, a drill tormented by a tough wall, percussion with blowpipe wind, a mixture of snoring, bubbling and starting a lawnmower or something like a walk with marimba or dark timbales.
