           *World's First Udderbot Recital!
Friday, August 20th - 8:00pm*

 Multi-instrumentalist and composer Jacob Barton is happy to present his
first full-length concert featuring the "udderbot", a unique slide woodwind
instrument invented in 2005.

[image: udderYO2.jpg]A joint project of OddMusic-UC and UnTwelve, the
concert will feature adaptations of pre-existing music and new music
commissioned especially for the occasion. Sixteen composers, half of them
Champaign-Urbana residents, participated in the commissioning project.

[image: JacobBartonUdderbot_fancy.jpg]Made of a glass bottle, a rubber
glove, and water, the udderbot's quirky appearance and unassuming timbre
make it a "friendly" instrument; however, with a range greater than the
concert flute's, the udderbot is no mere novelty. The recital will feature
music for solo udderbot player; udderbot with electronics; chamber music
with traditional instruments; and multiple udderbots. The udderbot will
substitute for its electronic predecessor, the theremin, for the oldest
piece on this recital, Martinu's "Fantasie" from 1944. A majority of the
music being performed is "microtonal", i.e. using notes and intervals that
fall "between the keys" of the piano (but are no trouble at all for the
udderbot).  More information
