Jonas Schoen-Philbert - Solo Piece for Basstrombone (2020)

Full Version of "Piece for Solo Basstrombone", written for Maxine Troglauer in 2020 by the Berlin-based composer and saxophonist Jonas Schoen-Philbert.

Notes by the composer:
"Piece for solo bass trombone” strictly follows specific series of pitches that reoccur throughout the piece in different variations.
Other main ingredients are multiphonics, slaptones and clicks with a piece of metal on the trombone body. There are three sections in different rhythmic gestures (freely, floating, steady pulse) that are meant to represent a rather dark, sad and then later a groovy yet somehow breathless tension.
This piece does not only challenge the performer with its virtuosic, technical passages, covering the whole range of the basstrombone but also with sustaining a suspenseful arc through-out the whole length of the piece.

This performance is a unique collaboration between the composer Jonas Schoen-Philbert and the german Basstrombonist Maxine Troglauer and is the second piece written by the composer for her."

Recorded at HansaHaus Studios Bonn in September 2020
