 The Ethnic Clarinet

I'm a clarinetist in NYC focusing on new and electronic music. I'm interested in working on a paper for school about new or (especially) electronic music for clarinet with world music influence. With the exception of Lowenstern's "Sha," which is inspired by a Klezmer tune, and works by David Krakauer (which I plan to mention in the paper), there seems to be little "academic" music written with the music of other, non-western cultures in mind. I'm looking for any reference to world music at all, whether it's a quote of a folk melody, the allusion of styles of playing from other cultures, or (less desirably) the inclusion of world instruments or sounds in the electronic score (Kyung Mee Choi's "Ceaseless Cease" features some eastern percussion sounds in the electronic part).
I am not looking for any one culture in specific; in fact, it would be ideal if I could find influences from cultures around the globe. One piece I did find was Chapman Welch's "Moire" (available to listen to on his website), which is inspired by the shehnai playing of Bismallah Khan (India).
Anyone know of other pieces or composers who might fit these parameters?
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
Here are a few pieces and composers that might fit your parameters:
Nora Fischer - Known for her classical-electronic fusion, her work often blends traditional and modern elements. Check out her piece "HUSH" for some inspiration.
Michal Rota - An artist who merges electronic jazz with traditional sounds. His work "Electronica" might offer some interesting perspectives.
Martin Freres - This site explores the clarinet's role in various world music traditions, including jazz-influenced world music and traditional music from different cultures.
Kyung Mee Choi - You already mentioned her piece "Ceaseless Cease," which features eastern percussion sounds in the electronic part. Her other works might also be worth exploring for similar influences.
Chapman Welch - As you mentioned, his piece "Moire" is inspired by the shehnai playing of Bismillah Khan. His other compositions might also incorporate world music elements Patient Portal
These suggestions should give you a good starting point for your paper.
