Stories in the Wind

This album of works for solo bass clarinet with live electronics is the result of a collaboration between composer Yue Song and clarinettist Marcella Barz. The electronic aspect of this project involves live processing of the bass clarinet performance; the electronic effects are triggered and controlled in performance via a SABRe muti-sensor device system attached to the bass clarinet, which involves four sensors that measure yaw, pitch, roll and air pressure. The sensors follow the performer’s movements during the performance and connect the performer to the electronic ‘sound world’, which is built out of layered effects that the performer can move through and interact with.
