“We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.”  - Anais Nin

Bounce

Written in 2014, for Bass Clarinet, Laptop and Visuals.  

Inspired by the works of Jackson Pollock, Pollock is an interpretive, ever-changing piece, which explores of the genesis and interplay of creative ideas.  Each part, the bass clarinet, the laptop and visuals are interconnected; the bass clarinettist is given a brief outline for the overall structure of the piece, which initiates the piece, this music is then analysed and processed by the laptop, which then determines the visual output onto the screen.  This visualisation then acts as the score for the clarinettist.  In this way, all three elements collaborate and influence each other, and gradually come together to form the whole work.
