octane (2020)
four saxophones of any similar type
Written for a concert to be performed from four different locations around a canyon with audience seated in yards in the center. Musicians surround the audience with sound. Performed with a synchronized click track that each performer runs from their own device. Because of this it can be performed on minimal rehearsal time; if each player performs their part accurately with the click, the proper effect will be achieved.
Please email to purchase materials including score, click track, and practice tracks (four tracks, each with one part removed).
$35 for pdf, $50+ shipping for hard copy (including pdf).
