MILLVILLE / ATMOSPHERIC
MILLVILLE / ATMOSPHERIC is a new, eight-minute electronic work composed for the debut compilation on tape-only label Goliard Recordings. MILLVILLE / ATMOSPHERIC is a kind of sketch for an upcoming saxophone concerto commissioned by Riot Ensemble (UK) and New Music Concerts (Can). The only sound sources are recordings of clarinet mouthpieces and bassoon reeds attached to long vinyl tubes which are then directed into a variety of resonating chambers including mason jars and copper kettles.
There is no digital release of this compilation, but you can hear a short sample of MILLVILLE / ATMOSPHERIC on Soundcloud.
