about

The debut solo album from celebrated clarinetist Andy Hudson, 'halfway home' features World Premiere recordings of seven works for clarinet by some of today's most exciting composers. This dynamic collection takes the listener on a genre-bending journey, from the initial delicately shimmering hues of Cassie Wieland's 'hands' to the muscular and mercurial 'Twisted Blue' by Jessica Rudman. Rosśa Crean's 'Hellville' blurs the line between man and machine as the clarinet is processed through electric guitar stompboxes, and Theresa Martin's 'Fire and Ice' sees two clarinets brought into powerful synthesis. Bass clarinet works by brin solomon, Anna Meadors, and Ledah Finck round out the album: solomon's romantic, haunting 'Aria' makes way for the breathless, exuberant dance of Meadors' 'Where did all of the words go?' Ledah Finck's longing song of exile 'If I were only halfway home' settles the record in a place of nostalgic desire.
