Description
“Tales form the Swamp” takes its inspiration form the Manchac Swamp region of southern Louisiana, with its legends of monsters, spirits, and Voodoo. The six moderately challenging movements are primarily pitch centric, and use some extended techniques, including multiphonics (with suggested fingerings), flutter tonguing, vibrato manipulation, and microtones.
