Internationally-acclaimed Vancouver clarinetist performs the music of Pierre Boulez, Paul Dolden, Giorgio Magnanensi, and John Oliver. Houle has taken the idea of Boulez’ « shadow dialogue » as inspiration for a program of works where the sound of his clarinet becomes the core of rich sound textures.

« …clarinet guru Houle becomes an entire new music ensemble on this solo CD…his dizzying techniques are wildly successful. »
