The title of this piece is inspired by a prime swimming and snorkeling location within the Baja Mexican corridor of Los Cabos. (There is actually no authentic steel band tradition in that region, but the location seems ideal for pan!) It was written for Ken Broadway and the University of Florida's Sunshine Steelers pan group.

For Air we had an experienced team in front of the camera - the Ensemble Modern Orchestra, conductor Brad Lubman, and Helmut Lachenmann - who had collaborated for many years. We were able to film almost completely extensive sectional rehearsals with the composer - four approximately 20-minute films of rehearsing winds, strings, percussion, keyboard and plucked instruments, and solo drums. These occurred partly in German, partly in English - in the films the passages in German are subtitled in English.

A highlight for the film team was an excursion with Helmut Lachenmann into the wintery forest near Frankfurt - on a search for dry branches to make the perfect cracking sounds.

The concert with the premiere of Air in the version with the Ensemble Modern Orchestra took place for the composer's 80^th birthday on 27 November 2015 in the concert hall of the Wiesbaden casino.

This seamless 4½-minute tour through seven timeless standards pays tribute to the American songwriting team of George and Ira Gershwin. Smart voice leading and classic choral arranging techniques remain faithful to the cherished melodies and jazz-influenced harmonies. Listen closely for additional Gershwin themes tucked into brief interludes between the enchanting songs. Live clarinet, bass, and drums (in the opt. SoundPax) add an elegant touch in concert.
