L'oceano Pacifico

This piece was originally composed for clarinet and euphonium in 2015, and was arranged for bass clarinet and viola in 2024. The title stems from the fact that the original piece received its premiere in San Diego, across the Pacific from Japan where I reside, though it carries no further significance. Throughout the piece, one finds instances of my compositional preoccupation with “colliding quarter tones and distorting sound”.
