Marcus Strickland & the Privilege bass clarinet

Multi-instrumentalist Marcus Strickland tells us how he became interested in the bass clarinet and how he chooses his instrument according to his projects...
🗨️ "Every wind instrument that I play, they all feel like different voices. With the tenor, I feel it's a man's voice. With the soprano, it almost feels like a child. And when I pick up the bass clarinet, it really feels like... It feels like earth."

Le multi-instrumentiste Marcus Strickland nous raconte comment il s’est peu à peu intéressé à la clarinette basse et comment il choisit son instrument en fonction de ses projets…
🗨️ "Chaque instrument à vent que je joue présente une voix différente. Avec le ténor, je sens que c'est un homme, c'est une voix masculine. Avec le soprano, c'est presque comme une voix d'enfant. Et quand je prends la clarinette basse, j'ai vraiment l'impression que… c'est rattaché à la terre."
