Hum

for bass clarinet and interactive computer (max/msp)
composed 1997; duration 12 minutes
commissioned by Fritz Berthelsen
world premiere Bolivia 1997 (version w. live electronics)
Contemporánea Ensemble

Based on the second movement of the solo clarinet piece Calling Angels, the sonic range has been expanded by the use of live electronics. The bass clarinet articulates the rhythm on a single pitch through extensive use of false fingerings, and only incidentally is the tonal colours developed into actual phrases.
