I'm working on some new music, commissioned by a dance company. It's written for a sweet duo: bass clarinet and cello. I love the way those two instruments sound together.<br /><br />The recording sessions have gone very well. Hiring awesome players is definitely the way to go. They got everything done in one or two takes. <br /><br />We got through the solo bass clarinet music so fast that we had some time to spare before the cellist arrived; so we did a short little improv track together. This won't be included in the dance piece, so from my (metaphorical) editing room floor to you:<br /><br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F16905206"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F16905206" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/jonathan-matis/bas">Bass Clarinet - Guitar duo</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/jonathan-matis">Jonathan Matis</a></span> <br /><br />Credits:<br />Ben Redwine: Clarinet<br />Me: guitar<br />mixed by TJ Lipple<br /><br />Please enjoy.
