extended techniques - tutti
random syllabic
muttering, [m r w t d a]
this technique is done without
an instrument. randomly rotate
through syllables listed at a
pseudo angry whisper as fast
6 as you can, hold on to syllables
at random durations
performance notes
durational notation
for the just intonation drone
sections each pitch has a
labeled duration on the right
end of the bracket. all sections
are labeled on top of the
ensemble system for preferred


overpressure duration.

each respectfully, black
notehead represents inhaling
through the instrument. White
random high pitch notehead represent exhaling.

wobbly
play a random high pitched
note, can be using any amount
of pressure to give different
timbre. It is okay if it is unsta-
ble, if anything prefered. let
pitch waver
for voice - this notehead will
represent random high pitch
ingressive multiphonic/squeal
follows Just Intonation tunings.
These are labeled three ways,
with relevant named interval,
cent deviation, ratio, and with
the Helmholtz - ellis 31 tuning
system accidentals.
mutes
brass and voice are required to
use mutes all sections are
labeled con sordino or senza
sordino respectfully.
brass use quarter stick
harmon mute
voice cover mouth with you
hand in a cup shape - not fully

voice - this technique is an

overpressure multiphonic text
creating a subharmonic pitch. text is in IPA
aim for a creaky/scratchy note
aleatory

 bass clarinet - this technique

is a low whispery air note on
the bass clarinet. heather
roche’s blog has a tutorial on
the technique. allow light
harmonics to speak out
randomly
switch between each figure in
any order randomly, freely
change duration of any figure.
decrescendo to end. you are
encouraged to reuse each
figure.

composer notes for program

anything goes nowhere is a statement on the unethical creation of plastics from the petrochemical
industy. the world is drowning in plastics and modern day recycling is not getting us where we need
to be. they put these problems on the shoulders of the consumers, we are not in control. the only way
to get out of this mess is to stop while we are ahead and put the blame where it belongs, on the petro-
chemical industry.

many thanks to loadbang for premiering this piece.
