Moiré
Moiré for clarinet soloist, ensemble and computer (2008) is a study in timbre framed within various harmonic states or spaces. Aspects of Moiré were inspired by the playing of the shehnai virtuoso Ustad Bismilah Khan, in particular the fluidity of the bends, slides, and microtonal inflections one hears in his recordings. Originally written for Rachel Yoder in 2008, the work was revised in 2010 for the Zeitgeist ensemble to whom this version is dedicated.
