A huge thanks to my students Connor and Him, who have marvellously rendered this piece and studied its sounds with great dedication!
The bass clarinet is prepared with water in the bell, which allows the instrument to produce unique bubbling trills. More info about the piece and part of the score available here: https://gerardogozzi.com/the-underwat...
The Underwater Life Of A Bass Clarinet (2019) is a humorous yet critical piece that explores a utopian submerged lifestyle. In our time we are faced with the dramatic melting of the polar caps and mountain glaciers; dealing with a constantly raising sea level might not be an avoidable option in the decades to come. The piece starts with a playful exploration of the water surface: the exhaling sounds produced by the bass clarinet are distorted by the bubbling of the water. The deeper the instrument “dives,” the more intense and agitated the surrounding water becomes. The bubbling mumbles of the bass clarinet get lost into the vastness of the water, until the two seem to merge and disappear.
