Small Infinities is an ongoing graphic score project, written as a set of freely configurable “modules.” The premier performance, at the 2017 Bendigo International Festival of Exploratory Music (BIFEM), featured 11 of these modules played by a massed-clarinet ensemble of 28 players—the Argonaut Clarinet Orchestra.
NEXT PERFORMANCE:
