Binary Digits
Duration: 17'
Hide info More info
"A bit is the basic unit of information in computing and digital communications. A bit can have only one of two values, and may therefore be physically implemented with a two-state device. These values are most commonly represented as either a 0 or 1. The term bit is a portmanteau of binary digit. . . . The length of a binary number may be referred to as its bit-length."
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit)The composition "Binary Digits" is loosely built on a binary structure.

What's the weather like today?
Duration: 3'30 - Price: €70
Hide info More info"What's the weather like today?" was composed in 2005 under a different title as an encore for a concert of the Eindhoven University concert band "Auletes". In 2018 the piece was adapted for clarinet ensemble & percussion (drums).
The composition incorporates elements from disco music as well as from funk music. Inspiration came from, among others, "It's raining men" by The Weather Girls. Hence the title. The middle part of the piece leaves room for improvisation.
