With "The Techniques of Trombone Playing", Mike Svoboda has written a book as a valuable guide for composers and trombonists.
It familiarises composers with contemporary trombone techniques and shows how to put them to creative use. It also helps trombonists to use their versatile instrument as a multi-functional sound generator.
Together with composer Mike Roth, Mike Svoboda explores what might today be called "the unlimited expansion of new performance possibilities": micro-intervals, multiphonics and the combination of the trombone sound with the human voice examples.
