xhrl_ The Edmund Welles Quartet play the big bass clarinet exclusively. Here they are playing a series of Renaissance motets, Erik Satie piano works and Baroque organ pieces on the bass clarinet. It may seem as if the concept is rather strange, but just listen to them play; it makes sense when you hear the music. These guys have even put metal and punk songs to the bass clarinet! Favorite track: De profundis clamavi ad te [demo].

an small collection of early Edmund Welles demos of pre- and post-Classical styles including Renaissance motets, Erik Satie piano works and Baroque organ pieces by Frescobaldi.

These recordings were made in order to find out if these arrangements were working and were not polished or intended for release, but they are fun to listen to...the 4th release in the "zeroth law Archival Re-release project": the back catalog of recordings from reed renegade Cornelius Boots.
