A few words from the composer:

“BONK! is a duet that features an ever developing groove built up between the 2 performers. It’s staggered opening evolves into a driving and pulsating mix of rich bass and floating lyrical sounds that highlight the range of the instrument it was intended for.

The piece can be performed as a duet of equal instruments or with the option to perform this as a soloist and track which is available upon request or recorded by the performer beforehand. This is a great opportunity to experiment with different ways of presenting this piece within a performance.” Chris Jolly (2019)

The E-Edition PDF bundle includes a playing score for two bass clarinets.

“BONK!” is also available in printed edition from June Emerson Wind Music.
