Strata

Scott McLaughlin, 2021
Clarinet with Prepared Barrel

Strata (2021) uses a punctured barrel. See score (link below) for details, but basically there are three holes drilled in the barrel, which act as vents to allow delicate and complex multiphonics.

Strata score is here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5yinztlhib6…

This is part of the AHRC Garden of Forking Paths project, researching composition for contingency and indeterminacy on clarinets. https://forkingpaths.leeds.ac.uk/

Here is a video player that randomly plays different recordings by Carlos Cordeiro of the main piece and the coda (which is for barrel only). https://lutins.co.uk/carlos-player.html This YouTube video is run 3 of the main piece and coda 4.
