Stream of Consciousness for Clarinet Quartet

Here is another very short atonal work. Just mindless musings on mindlessly conjured themes/motifs. Basically treated in 2nd Viennese manners - I have inversed, retrograded, and etc to the material to play with textures. I have used the extreme registers of the instruments (and yes, I used alto clarinet - shoot me.)This is basically composition improvisation - no revisions have been made since I wrote it, and the compositional process took only one hour. Any kind of feedback is of course appreciated.

You definitely created some interesting sounds, like at measure 26, the half-tone friction there between the Bass Clarinets gave a really strange sound that really stood out to me as "cool" in particular. (The runs at the end were even delicious to me! :lol:) And some times the mood is really involving.

Of course, as a whole, it's just pretty much meandering around, which is indeed rarely a good thing in music. But if doing some experiments and exercises in this create some "pearls" with which to bring to mind in later, serious compositions, these atonal ditties can come in very handy in that regard.

Thanks for sharing! :happy: This was actually a pretty entertaining little diversion, more so than you made it sound :musicwhistle:
