Daniel Goode

Daniel Goode is an American composer and clarinetist, born in New York in 1936. His music draws on bird song, Cape Breton fiddling, drones, Indonesian gamelan and minimal music, often treated as a slow gradual process. He is known for his circular breathing on the clarinet and for a keyless plastic-pipe clarinet tuned to the slendro scale. Goode studied with Henry Cowell and Otto Luening at Columbia, then with Pauline Oliveros and Kenneth Gaburo in San Diego.
