This edition consists of two scores: one with enlarged staves of piano, and one with enlarged stave of clarinet.
From the composer:
"Cloud Chamber is a short piece for clarinet and piano inspired by the scientific apparatus of the same name. Use for detecting particles of ionising radiation, a cloud chamber is a closed environment containing a supercooled supersaturated water vapour. When a particle interacts with the vapour, it ionises the vapour, causing the resulting ions to act as condensation nuclei around which a mist will form. The high energies of these particles mean that a trail is left behind because the number of ions produced along the path of the charged particle. The tracks have very distinctive shapes and this makes it possible to tell the difference between the tracks of, for example, alpha and beta particles. In my composition, the instruments trace the tracks left by an imaginary particle on a lonely and solitary journey through a cloud chamber."
