    • The Illicit Still
    Oliver Searle

    Description

    A short work for solo contrabass (or bass) clarinet.

    The first legal distillery on the Isle of Raasay opened in September 2017.
    This short work aims to capture the sounds of the distilling process, aiming to emulate a
    rhythmic and mechanical environment, with each sound fragment chasing and moving around
    each other (and perhaps giving the impression of an attempt to evade any authorities who
    might like to thwart any illegal distillers...)
