Clarinet | Voice | Percussion
A Sputter Box performance is a captivating and unique experience from start to finish!
While only a trio (clarinet, voice, percussion), this ensemble can move from “mindfully constructed textures that are light as a feather, and then turn on a dime to explode into something practically orchestral without missing a beat” (Michael Genese). As the pioneers for this unique instrumentation, Sputter Box is committed to building a diverse and exciting repertoire. They perform interdisciplinary pieces involving sound, theater, movement, visual art, and improvisation. Sputter Box prioritizes intimate collaboration with music creators and artists from various disciplines through nontraditional composition approaches.
