lifeless air become sinewed for solo bassoon is part of a cycle of pieces for wind instruments composed for the Slovene wind quintet Slowind. It was premiered by bassoonist Paolo Calligaris at the 2010 Slowind Festival in Ljubljana in a concert of the entire cycle. Fragments of sound conceived as timbral cells gradually grow and expand over a background of the sound of the instrumentalist breathing through the instrument in various ways. The process of growth of timbral material is punctuated by a layer of more active gestures.

This solo for bassoon is in three contrasting sections, connected by brief interludes. The first section features a rapid repeated melodic figure; this reappears in different guises and dynamic levels. In the second part a cantabile melody is heard over a low ostinato of a perfect fifth. The third and most lively section is what I term a ‘rhythmic variation’; a repeated melody where the pitches remain constant while the rhythmic values change with each subsequent repetition. A melodic development leads to a short coda revisiting the figure heard at the beginning of the piece. Written for and dedicated to Ben Hoadley, in friendship.
