Notes

"Open Strain was composed in 2007 for bass clarinet and electronics. It was to be my final project for the electroacoustic composition course I was auditing at the time at Wilfrid Laurier University taught by Richard Windeyer. Recorded sounds of instrumental effects such as slap tonguing and multiphonics (the production of more than one note at a time) on the bass clarinet are the foundation for the electronic component of this piece. Every sound heard originated from one of three separate sound samples that I recorded from my bass clarinet. I then processed and manipulated these sounds electronically and layered them on top of one another and later composed a live performance part to go with it. The title Open Strain literally means 'free sound'. This piece features several layers of sounds (live and electronic) that constantly evolve throughout while the underlying pulse quickens and the tension grows."
