A revised version of amphora - for bass clarinet, violin, and cello - (2018). Amphora, n. 1. an ancient Greek jar or vase with a large oval body, narrow cylindrical neck, and two handles that rise almost to the level of the mouth broadly : such a jar or vase used elsewhere in the ancient world2. a 2-handled vessel shaped like an amphora Amphora are vessels dating back to the Neolithic period and also had been made for Ancient Greek vase painting. They were used for the everyday and rituals, prizes and for funery practices.I had been working with pottery in previous pieces, including using various size clay pots as resonant speakers- in Cable Veins, for pianoand electronics; Chalk.Body.Barrow. electronics for dance. From working physically with pottery, I wanted to focus on it's tactility in sound; the weighted and earthy and fragile and ancient qualities. The idea of writing Amphora began here.
