This was composed and performed in 1975 when I was a befuddled graduate student at an Institution. All the sound is created by one clarinet (that's me). It took an awful lot of 1975-ish electronics to create the rest of it.
You can read the story here. It's a Very Sad Story. (Be sure to scroll down for the link to the Kraftwerk video - also 1975-ish.)
(Be careful when you play this music!! It's not for casual listening. The opening is just plain annoying - simply a clarinet long tone with no vibrato. And then there's the ring modulation. Leslie, my dear wife, refused to listen for very long. But if you can stay until the "tune" starts I think you'll be okay. Please leave complaints and comments below.)
