Description
"With Plastovy Hrad, Elliott Sharp presents three diverse compositions,
dynamic and sonically bracing, that reveal a few common elements. On the
most immediate level it is clear that the bass clarinet serves a primary
role in each, whether featured as a solo instrument with the orchestra in
Plastovy Hrad, providing commentary and amplification in Turing Test, or
functioning as the orchestra itself in Oumuamua. Though very different in
feel and affect, all three make use of compositional strategies unique to
Sharp's work. The piece Plastovy Hrad is a work for chamber orchestra that
is dramatic, dark, and labyrinthine. Turing Test is a mini-opera, a black
comedy about entities in search of themselves. Finally, Oumuamua is a solo
exploration of electroacoustic processing of the bass clarinet.
