ClariNation Vital: It's a crazy movie montage that makes no sense, just like the times we live in. It's a multitrack swarming, mixed meter clarinado..like sharknado without the sharks, only my family. The video on YouTube features clips from quarantine and times of Freedom, I hope you enjoy! Clarinationism was composed and recorded in my home studio, Todd Brunel composer and clarinets. 

Todd Brunel plays a Selmer Paris 35 bass clarinet and a Selmer Presence Bb clarinet.

Todd Brunel is an innovative, critically acclaimed clarinetist and saxophonist, who performs extensively as a classical and jazz musician. In the world premiere event 'From Requiem to Renewal' at Boston College, Eileen Pfeiffer of the Boston Globe hailed: "Clarinetist Todd Brunel and pianist Synthia Sture played with tremendous virtuosity and heart". He is a member of the Armenian Folk jazz ensemble Musaner and the Eric Hofbauer Quintet. He has premiered works by numerous composers including: George ‘Skip’ Brunner, Claudio Gabriele, Matthew D. Harder, Rick Sowash, Ara Sarkissian, Jose Louis Hurtado, Johnny Reinhard, Vuk Kulenovic, Etienne Rolin, Pamela Watson, and Vache Sharafyan. “The perfect control over the instruments allowed the soloists the subtle at times almost jocular transition through different styles and genres.” Musical Horizons Magazine. 

As a jazz/improvisational performer and composer, he produces The Vortex Series for New and Improvised Music, a 2010-11 grant recipient from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Cambridge Arts Council and the Somerville Arts Council.

As a classical freelance musician, Mr. Brunel's busy performance schedule includes ALEA III, the Boston Chamber Ensemble, the Lexington Symphony, the Bulgarian Virtuosi, the Waltham Symphony, the Claflin Hill Symphony and the Chagall Performance Art Collaborative. Brunel has made guest appearances at: Carnegie Hall, the SEAMUS Festival, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, the Boston Conservatory, The Longy School of Music, The Academy of Music Dance and Art in Plovdiv, Bulgaria and The Winter Sun Music Festival with legendary pianist, Daltin Baldwin.
