Recently, I’ve been developing a solo bassoon piece, experimenting with several motifs that ultimately inspired the improvisation you can hear above. This improvisation showcases my approach to composition, where I explore and expand upon themes through improvisation. The central theme of this work is rooted in an octatonic scale, enriched with microtones to add depth and texture.
The recording is from a live performance at the September 24th Opus Project concert, held at the Center for New Music in San Francisco. It’s a vivid example of how spontaneous creation can lead to the discovery and refinement of musical ideas.
