Program Notes:

Written during an artist residency in Madeira, Portugal, we study our past to move forward is a study for bass clarinet and electronics. The electronic parts are built from ‘leftover’ parts of past works. These samples have been remixed, reconstituted, and changed to create the new electronic part. The bass clarinet weaves in and out of these electronic textures, using a variety of extended techniques to build a unique sonic texture. The title refers to the process of sampling and learning: We study our past, our mistakes, our successes, to move forward and create new work.
