ABOUT THE WORK2012 / ENSEMBLE

Traditional percussion music deals with the linearity of notes and rhythm in time. Resonance lives through vibration of the instruments.

This piece aims to create a unique sonic dimension, which is sometimes lost in percussion music, using intricate rhythm and combination of diverse instruments.

More importantly, it is a piece to examine the extra facet of “resonance” that all great music possesses: “resonance” amongst the musicians, the rapport if you like, which is necessary to drive great music forward.
