Eternities is an intuitive collaboration between bass clarinetist Katie Porter and sound artist Bob Bellerue. Our work is inspired by deep presence, resonant feedback, melodic drone, and overtone magic, in the fluid realm between intention and indeterminacy. We use harmonic tones from wind instruments played within feedback systems to create multidimensional spectral drone.
