Description
This “Sci-Fi” inspired atonal piece features numerous extended techniques, including microtones, multiphonics, glissandi, pitch bends, timbre modifications, harmonics, and key clicks. The performer is also called on to produce sounds on the various joints of the instruments and also to play the bassoon in the traditional manner but without the long joint or bell. The range is not excessive, ascending only to C5. This moderately challenging piece was commissioned by MARZENA, composed in 1990, and premiered at the Seattle Spring Festival. It was then revised in 1993 and recorded.
