Just your friendly yearly reminder of the importance of today!

[Arthur Sharpe @ArthurInColour]

@IainFarrington @satosatokokoko Rounding off the musicians are @will_newell (violin/viola), @BassRemote (double bass), Laurence Ungless (double bass), Stephanie Dunne (vocals/yells) and @jasonalder (clarinet + lots of unnerving noises & extended techniques).

[Jason Alder @jasonalder]

@davidycook1 @sarahkwatts For contrabass, it's either low Eb or low C depending on which instrument they have. Pro-level ensembles you can expect low C. Lots of college and high schools also have low C, but could also have low Eb

[Jason Alder @jasonalder]

@davidycook1 @sarahkwatts For contra-alto, standard is low Eb (paperclips do go to low C, but there's far fewer of them than straight instruments)

[Jason Alder @jasonalder]

@heather_roche It’s a great piece!

[Jason Alder @jasonalder]

Finally, lost for a month from UK post strikes, my copy of Space Bass: Advanced Explorations for Bass Clarinet by @TheAndyHudson and @rogerzare with a chapter about #bassclarinet clef notation by myself, and a fwd by Jeff Anderle. Great resource to work on extended techniques!

New issue of The Clarinet is out. Be sure to check out my interview with Murmuri, the clarinet sextet that played on @bjork’s new album!

In a quiet desert town way off the beaten path, a band of musicians arrive lost. As they wait for the next bus out, these unexpected visitors bring the town to life in surprising ways, proving that even the briefest visit can stay with you forever.
