Description
A common concern among musical performers in today'’s musical market pertains to their capacity to adapt to the constantly changing climate of the music business. This document focuses on one aspect of the development of a sustainable, entrepreneurship skill set: the production of a recording. While producing the recording Chocolates, the author examined and documented the multiplicity of skills encompassed with a recording project. The first part of the document includes a discussion of various aspects of the recording project, Chocolates, through an entrepreneurial lens, and an evaluation of the skill sets acquired through the recording process. Additionally, the inspiration and relevance behind the recording project and the process of collaboration between the two composers from whom I commissioned new compositions, Noah Taylor and James Grant, and myself is considered. Finally, I describe the recording and editing processes, including the planning involved within each process, how I achieved the final product, and the entrepreneurial skills involved. The second portion of this document examines a broad range of applications of entrepreneurship, marketing, and career management skills not only within the confines of this particular project, but also in relation to the overall sustainability of a twenty-–first century music-–performing career.

Description
For this project, I commissioned and recorded five new works for contrabassclarinet from five different composers. Composition parameters were given to each
composer before they started writing which detailed what needed to be included in each
work. Four of the composers were asked to utilize a single, difficult aspect of playing the
instrument, which included intonation, low note technique and response, phrasing, and
articulation. For the fifth work, the composer was asked to incorporate all parameters of
the project. Because of the differences between contrabass clarinet designs, I recorded
each work three times using the Leblanc Vito, Leblanc “Paperclip”, and Selmer Model 41
contrabass clarinets to demonstrate that the works were adaptable and playable. In this
paper, I will outline the parameters of the project, describe the instruments used for
recording and provide a performance guide for each work. It is my hope that these works
will provide an enjoyable way for future contrabass clarinetists to become more
proficient performers of the instrument.
