sample the album:
![]() "In this X-world of sound the music can be purely described in superlatives: exquisite, extraordinary, exhilarating, extreme, extravagant, exigent, exposed, extended, exciting, exceptional, expansive, exacting, excelling, exceeding and exponential. In the composers' own performance instruction the words range from "delirious, obsessive, explosive, furiously," to "imperceptible, frail, inscrutable, incoherent." This recording is the solo programme of The Virtuosity of Excess, an eleven-city North American Tour that I played in 2016. Just under seventy minutes in duration it features music that travels all over the limits and thresholds of the low clarinets, obscuring what is possible and what is not. With this project I wanted to discover the beauty of the extremes, exploit them and embody them in the music. The compositions are by Brian Ferneyhough, Richard Barrett, Raphael Cendo, Paolo Perezzani, Paul Steenhuisen and me, Lori Freedman. The latter three musicians created pieces specifically in light of the theme of the programme. Several of the works include singing, one also includes playing a kick drum, and another features live electronics with immersive spatialization."-Lori Freedman See also Solor![]() Ambiances Magnetiques Improvised Music Free Improvisation Musique Actuelle Solo Artist Recordings Recordings by or featuring Reed & Wind Players Staff Picks & Recommended Items |
