\nSonata for clarinet & nodar
\nJez riley French (field recording \/ composition)
\nJoana Silva (clarinet)
\nLuis Costa (field recording)<\/p>\n
An intuitive composition created by Jez riley French with Luis Costa (coordinator of the Nodar Artist Residency Centre) & the Nodar landscape itself & the young clarinetist Joana Silva. Joana literally deconstructs the piece \u2018Solo de Concours\u2019 composed in 1901 by Henri Rabaud whilst walking through water, wind, snakes, dogs, brush cutters, & aircraft crossing the sky overhead on the way to fight bush fires. Rabaud, a composer who labeled himself as conservative often was known to say \u2018Modernity is the enemy\u2019 and this expression gained an unexpected acuity with the profusion of new noises in the ancestral landscape of Nodar during the recording of the piece.<\/p>\n
Having given Joana some minimal ideas for how she should approach the journey through the landscape & the music, none of us expected that she would spend over 2 hours slowly walking & exploring small sections of Rabaud\u2019s piece. It is the simplicity of the idea for this piece combined with the openness & focus of Joana\u2019s playing that made the day so memorable.<\/p>\n
Thanks to Carina Martins & Jo\u00e3o Rodrigues for documenting the day
