Description:
A bass guitar and Bflat clarinet duet. This is part 2 of a 3 part composition titled 'Trilogy In Three.' Essentially all 3 compsoitions are bass solos (kind of) with clarinet accompaniment. These were recorded the good old fashioned way, using a reel-to-reel recorder. The only real editing done on a Mac was using Pro Tools free to tidy the beginnings and endings etc. I actually played these pieces while suffering from streaming hayfever. These pieces also quite old now, but I have a foundness for them, so I thought I share them here.

How lovely and unique &mdash 01/04/07 - 10:31:52 AM
I really enjoyed the mixture of these two instruments - there are some rather lovely colors you've brought out in their dance together. It sounds mostly composed, maybe a little improvised? As a clarinet player myself, it was quite nice to hear the instrument (a REAL one) used in a modern sense. The softer second clarinet harmonies are beautiful as well. Given that you've got a bass solo going on - this gets my mind wondering what this would sound like with a Bb bass clarinet, or even a contrabass (I know, not everyone owns one of those). Nice tone on the clarinet - you play better with hayfever than I ever did in my youth. LOL! Looking forward to hearing more.

Yeah! Cheers for your kind words. I've uploaded the other 2 tracks that complete the trilogy. You can find them here:

I'd always be open for collaboration if you're interested? I'm no longer in contact with the clarinetist on these recordings, so it would be nice to do something along these (or different lines) again. Let me know :)

I don't even own a clarinet, presently - however, your piece inspired me to pick up a cheapo, just to get back in practice. I'm not sure when that will happen - somewhere in between new dulcimer purchases, I imagine. : ) I will check out the others here presently. Thanks again!

such beauty &mdash 01/13/07 - 10:40:41 AM
and peace this brings. Really a warm wonderful tone on the bass. the clarinet adds a great & unique contrast. Very ambient and mellow.
