Replication for solo instrumentalists (2013-)

 

Replication is a series of works that invite instrumental musicians to engage with and articulate their instrument's physical structure by creating a sculpture out of everyday, found objects that mimics its architecture.  This process can be completed quickly in a formal setting or over time as a performed installation.

Currently there are versions of this piece for contrabass clarinet, cello, double bass, trombone, and flute. I am more than happy to make new versions on request.

The videos below feature Zan Berry performing Replication [VC] for solo cello at the 2019 Verdant Vibes Spring Festival, Robin Meiksins performing Replication [FL] for solo flute as part of the 100 Days of New Music series, and Luna Valentin performing Replication [CB] for solo double bass as part of the Sound and Music Computing 2022 conference in Saint-Étienne, France.
