Whaddup?
dedicated to Nicolas
Prost
Whaddup?, for saxophone and electroacoustic music, was written
specifically for very young saxophonists. It was composed at the
request
of Nicolas Prost, to whom the piece is dedicated. The entire
accompaniment was created using two sound sources:
- an odd, limited assortment of samples (key
clicks, key slaps, breath sounds, a clanking mouthpiece cover, a
multiphonic and one fast run) recorded by Greg Sigman on a vintage 1927
Conn bass saxophone with a very noisy
key action.
- a recording of Cânes Nicolas talking (in French) about
traveling from his native Haiti to study music in the US and his
anticipation of the 2010 World Cup.
