Description
This piece was composed in 2011 for Pascal Gallois and features 14 earthquake-related scenes from musical material derived Richter scale data. The musical syntax is avant-garde and includes multiphonics, playing on the reed alone, very long glissandi, pitch-bending, tremolos, tongue-slaps, a kiss-tone, whistling, and singing while playing. Although only moderately challenging overall, once the techniques are mastered, the music does ascend to the treacherous F#5.
