Sonic diarrhea

“ The calm before the storm, the feeling of eating gas station sushi except instead of intestinal problems it’s your ears getting that treatment. Sonic diarrhea is a seven minute work consisting of random noises, groovy melodies, and the sonic equivalent of having a horrible stomach ache… it’s great for the performers too. They get to have a little bit of fun. Structure: this is treated like a Rondo if you may, (ABACA) we have the sonic diarrhea theme (A) , a calmer theme (B) and a very jazzy theme unexpectedly (c). Enjoy!”

This is a really good piece!!! Interesting name lol 😂, i did see some impossibly high clarinet 1 stuff, but i think if you replaced it with an Eb clarinet you’d be fine! Awesome piece 

Great use of percussion in this work, including a load of techniques and instruments I'd never heard of.

I hope the propane tank is empty; otherwise you could have an explosive ending!

That’s true with the first clarinet part there’s sometimes where it gets very high. If I remembered correctly, I added some optional lower octave material just in case if that gets too much for them.

Really cool music!, I really enjoyed the more sporadic textures. Your slower section is always carrying interestingly forward, with two distinctive voices at any given times. Some very wonderful counter point here. I will say the "Alla Jazz" Section felt like you lost the complexity and interest you had been building up, rather than redirecting it. I'm not sure what more you could do, it is very interesting by itself, but I felt a little surprised. The transition back to craziness was very smooth and satisfying.
