"AE" (for bass clarinet solo)

From the release AOUIE

Susanna Gartmayer studied painting and printmaking, and She’s self trained in bass clarinet and composition. She is part of many ensembles operating in elusive musical genres, for example the experimental rock band Broken.Heart.Collector or The Vegetable Orchestra (music for instruments made of out of vegetables). 2015 saw the release of Gartmayer’s debut solo recording AOUIE. In this album, mouth cavity shapes and vowel sounds necessary for multiphonic wind instrument playing and the shift of overtones were the starting point for a multidimensional journey into the bass clarinet’s sound.
