a concert of sound

Clarinetist Matt Ingalls performs two iconic solo "Musique Concrète Instrumentale" compositions:
SALVATORE SCIARRINO - "Let Me Die Before I Wake" (1982)
HELMUT LACHENMANN - "Dal niente (Intérieur III)" (1970)

The concert alse features the OAKLAND REDUCTIONIST ORCHESTRA, a supergroup of local musicians with a predilection for lowercase/fricative/reductionist acoustic improvisation that often sounds more electronic than acoustic. This ensemble grows out of a rich tradition of "American reductionist" music that emerged (re-emerged?) in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Previous projects like Tom Djll's Grosse Abfahrt and The Jack Wright Large Ensemble Eight By Nine document the Bay Area's contribution to the genre.
