Program Notes:

One of the first skills that was engrained in me as a young clarinetist was to forge a foundational
connection between the clarinet and my physical body. This concept became the groundwork of the
sound source material for my piece, which contains a variety of sounds created with the clarinet, my
own body, or a combination of the two. The unique versatility of the clarinet provides a huge range of
timbres that are used to bridge the gap between the acoustic and electronic sound worlds. Of Mind and
Body is a contemplation on the idea of performance, and the connection between the performer and his or her instrument, both physical and mental.
