Ian Clarke: Hatching Aliens 2
What an AMAZING piece of music! I love Ian Clarke's work. If you don't know him, you'll definitely want to take a listen to the video below. He is a 21st century/modern (and still living) composer who writes mainly solo and chamber flute music using extended techniques such as quarter-tones, multiphonics, singing while playing, breathy tone, key slaps and more. Ian Clarke is *THE* guy for 21st century avant-garde flute music.
Flightpath for Flute Solo : pre-premiere demo
Preview my new composition for flute solo! "Flightpath" will have its official world premiere on my upcoming recital (Feb 23, Cleveland,) but you can hear it first!
This is a demo of the flute part only. The complete score includes piano accompaniment, and will be performed accompanied at its premier.

Written in the early part of 2018, Flightpath is one my more recent compositions. The piece opens with a question: “where am I going?” The placid flute solo is juxtaposed with a sparse and poignant piano accompaniment. Suddenly, there is a
flurry of activity as the performers rushes toward their unknown destination
hectically, much in the way that an agitated insect would behave when trying to
escape. However, upon arrival, the initial question resurfaces, leaving us to wonder if we really got anywhere at all. Digital or print scores may be ordered at http://bit.ly/2GteDZs.
