Tip! *110 copies limieted edition. In process of stocking* 'Bitter Desert ushers in an intensely reflective listening induced by the sounds of clarinets moving restlessly through progressions of granulated tone, soaring harmonic, gnarly growl, and wild fluttering. The ground here is only apparently firm; rather it is sand-like, constantly shifting beneath the feet of our ears as it surveys a vast sonic expanse turned profoundly inward.' – Adam Zuckerman
Format
Jeremiah Cymerman – Bb clarinet
