mer is a new 40-minute piece for chamber orchestra that traces the many facets of human consciousness, awareness, and experience. This minimalist sound-painting by Seattle composer John Teske will be premiered by the Broken Bow Ensemble, a 26-piece group of strings and woodwinds. Guided by local tide data, the orchestra will slowly transform sound through time, unraveling layers of pitch and rhythm. Supported in part by the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture CityArtist Project.
Announcing the annual contrabass clarinet solo courtesy of Paul Hoskin. An eighty-minute adventure sounds the Chapel Performance Space. Hoskin’s approach may be labeled spontaneous composition. Periods of “jazz melody” live with extreme sonic exploration. The entire dynamic field, a five octave range, multiphonics never heard—all are in evidence.
