Obijiaku, Chidi | Echoes of the Distant, for Clarinet & Live Electronics

The Big Black Blotch: New Music Project developed from a call for scores Dr. Sarah Manasreh released in February 2021. The amount of wonderful pieces that were submitted gave her the idea that she should perform as many as she can, promote the music and composers, and bridge the gap between emerging composers and clarinet performers.
This recording is a collaboration between EFX clarinetist Chris Mothersole and composer Chidi Obijiaku, brought to life through the use of guitar effect pedals and the Digitech TSR-12 rack-mount multi-effects unit. Thank you to both Sarah & Chidi for this wonderful collaborative experience!

Thanks for reposting this on FB! I didn’t see it get uploaded, but this is an awesome piece and exactly the direction for electroacoustic clarinet that makes me so excited about it as a medium!

It took me a moment to get into this piece, but once my ears got used to the 'echo' I was really drawn it. The second movement was my favorite. I liked the liveliness of it. Thanks for this The use of electronics and the clarinet is intriguing.
