about

Clemens features harmonic and textural dualism on “Sphere,” composing sections of counterpoint for the saxophones against ethereal guitar effects. Moved by the historical legacy of a single rocket departing from Earth’s atmosphere and entering outer space, he wrote a series of deceptively similar melodies, each with its own resolution. To capture the journey of a renegade rocket hit by a neutron star, Clemens transitions into a 9/8 section slipping in and out of pentatonic harmony – a musical comment on his own connection to the music’s broad lineage. “The rocket gets hit by different neutrinos – different influences – as it leaves Earth,” he says, “but yet, it still keeps the course.”
