Y2K Bugs

(1999) for clarinet, violin, cello, and piano. 3 minutes.

Y2K Bugs is a set of fourteen miniatures that seek to evoke, variously, panicked doom-and-gloom scenarios, mundane nightly news reports, and a timeless sense of wonder at a calendar rollover on a bigger scale than all of us. It was written for the Ensemble Decadanse concert “2000 Miniatures for the Year 2000.”
