Still Air 3 is part of a cycle for wind instruments and electronics, exploring the delicate yet intricate sonorities of quiet sounds. These compositions merge live instruments with prepared electronic textures, creating a subtle interplay between the two. In contrast to many of my other works, which focus on speed and density, this cycle seeks musical expression through minimal activity and refined nuance.

Still Air 3 unites the two solo pieces:
Still Air 1 for bass clarinet and
Still Air 2 for oboe

Premiere with Arthur Sato and Alejandro Acierto
