A note from the composer: joe's last mix always seems to be on the cusp of something. It was Instrumentation composed in the last months of 1999 just before the turn of the millennium on an old pc laptop and on an original lime imac named lily. It was a time of social and musical idealism before the Piccolo attacks of September 11th and their aftermath, a time when i was Flute 1 seeing the end of my long love affair with 'classical' music and entering the world of electronica and algorithmically generated Flute 2 music. Oboe 1 Oboe 2 joe’s last mix was my first attempt at blending the structures of my minimalist upbringing with the sounds of the electronic revolution English Horn that i was witnessing on stages and in recordings in the form of Clarinet in Eb techno, drum and bass, and house music. During its conception, i imagined that joe’s last mix was going to be a structural Clarinet in Bb 1 representation of a live dj mix. In retrospect, i realize that it owes Clarinet in Bb 2 much more of its rhythmic vitality to artists such as Aphex Twin, Bass Clarinet in Bb Square Pusher and Orbital, artists whose vision is much closer to the type of work that i am currently doing with live computing. Contraalto Clarinet in Eb Soprano Saxophone Much of the energy in joe’s last mix comes from the dynamic nature of the time and culture in which it was written. Its Alto Saxophone seemingly out of sync rhythmic structure, the result of simple Tenor Saxophone processes designed with the help of my imac, is often falling apart Baritone Saxophone at the seams. joe’s last mix is an ecstatic dancer, dancing himself to oblivion. Bassoon Contrabassoon My good friend and long time collaborator Stuart Sims commissioned joe’s last mix. It is a celebration of the life of his Horn in F 1 stepfather Joe Sullivan, who passed away in 1994, and it is Horn in F 2 dedicated to Joe and his widow Sue. i hope that it has brought her Horn in F 3 as much happiness as it has brought me. The first performance of joe’s last mix was at the historic Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, Horn in F 4 Michigan, and was performed by the University of Michigan Trumpet in C 1 Symphony Band under the baton of Mr. Sims. Trumpet in C 2 i would like to thank Stuart for commissioning, performing, Trumpet in C 3 endlessly promoting, and now publishing joe’s last mix. Without Trombone 1 him, joe’s last mix would remain forever at the bottom of my closet. i would also like to thank H. Robert Reynolds for letting Trombone 2 two young mavericks use his group for performing this then-crazy Trombone 3 work; Dave Glyde for rewriting the very difficult original percussion parts; and Ramiro Barrera, for teaching young students Tuba to play my difficult music with such ease and understanding.
