Bonelab

Bonelab was written for the Belgian ensemble ‘The Bone Society’. In this composition, Kevin Houben displays all facets of the octet without limitations and with high physical demands for both the alto trombone as well as the tenor and basstrombones. The main theme is built on two devil’s chords: the first in its pure form, the second as an embellishment. The octet is also brought into play in various combinations including double-chorus, in twos, in threes, doubled in octaves, twotimes three plus solo voice, et cetera. If you like a real trombone challenge, this is it!
