about

“The Instant Composer,” this release’s center of gravity, is a tune cycle based on a text I’ve written on the nature of the matter, and why I think the practice is relevant in the current cultural and political climate. In regard to the compositional strategies employed here, I’ve worked with the current version of my graphic notation code “Cookbook”—its syntax updated from earlier renditions of roughly a decade ago.

The four sections of “The Instant Composer” are surrounded by five additional pieces, mostly using conventional notation on staff paper. These were written to create contrast and thus allow for a more diverse set of conceptions. All sheet music for the nine tracks that comprise “The In Side” were created with my friend and master clarinetist Christof Knoche in mind.

Christof and I have a lot in common: originally from Germany and around the same age, we both have been living in New York City for many years. Our artistic paths cross regularly, and we’ve been colleagues in the bands of Karl Berger, Juan Pablo Carletti, Enrique Haneine, Butch Morris and Carolin Pook. Besides, we’ve always enjoyed playing duets together; the cornet and clarinet are lovely companions.

Expertly recorded by David Stoller at Samurai Hotel Recording Studio in Queens, and mixed, mastered and sound designed by the legendary Jon Rosenberg, we sincerely hope you will enjoy “The In Side.” Plus there’s bonus material: in addition to the score of “The Instant Composer” and the (German) text that inspired this work, we have included photos from the recording session and a short video.
