#contrabassclarinet
@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).
@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
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!
It's #BandcampFriday, which means all proceeds go directly to the artists! Get 15% off anything on my Bandcamp (digital downloads, CDs, or print versions of my fingering charts!) using the code jasonalder15, only valid for today!

Thanos Chrysakis / Jason Alder — Milieu Interieur: "The deep sonorities of the instruments are probed with formidable control, from the resonant, dusky, bottom registers of the horns to vibrant high-pitched cries" https://t.co/4nyrC6kn76
