These effects amplify the instrument’s percussive potential and enable the usually single-line instrument to realise complex harmonies. The work is a result of an intense collaboration between composer Elizabeth Kelly and bassist/sound engineer Simon Paterson who are colleagues in the University of Nottingham Department of Music. Amanda Johnson, Beneath the Surface (acousmatic work with film) Music by Amanda Johnson, images by Richard Johnson. Created in collaboration with Dr. Natalie Braber of Nottingham Trent University and funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Beneath the Surface is a digital sound, music and artwork inspired by the changing mining landscape of the East Midlands. It contrasts the freedom experienced above ground with the cramped and dangerous conditions of miners below. Created using sounds recorded at Pleasley Pit Trust, Bestwood Colliery and Bilsthorpe heritage Museum. The images are drawn using coal. https://bit.ly/2HOYhgV Oguz Büyükberber, Sketchbook (2020) Niels Christian Rasmussen Gestalten (2018) Aled Smith yus Jason Alder contrabass clarinet https://bit.ly/3mq52Fe Oğuz Büyükberber contrabass clarinet, modular synth, art & video https://bit.ly/2VcNlgj This programme features three collaborative works for contrabass clarinet and electronics. I worked with each composer to develop different aspects of the musical content. Each piece uses the electronic element in different ways. With Oguz, we used a back and forth collaboration of material which resulted in the electronic track; Niels Christian uses the electronics in a more traditional ‘tape’ or fixed media form; and the effects pedals in Aled’s piece are an instrument unto themselves, with specific instructions in the score of how the pedals should be ‘played’.
