DESCRIPTION:
Live August 4, 2011 at the Valley Performing Arts Center as part of the 2011 Clarinetfest.

This is the most recent Cornelius Boots bass clarinet quartet composition and it was 3 years in the making. It had to be epic, it was inspired by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Pink Floyd, and Carlos Gesualdo. We posted this here primarily so that people who own the album Imagination Lost can have a visual reference for how the "bass clarinet upper joint as end-blown flute" sounds are created. To see that, skip to 6:25. Contact Cornelius Boots directly through this channel if you want to take Skype lessons and learn this rare technique: patience required!
