about

I am excited to share this album of percussion music-a
collection that gave me the opportunity for musical exploration
and personal growth . Each work represents a different
challenge for the performer . Chris Paul Harman's Verve
examines the limitations of the marimba's resonance and
answers with a work using reverb effects for a lush-sounding
instrument. Valerio Sannicandro's Distentio looks at the same
issue of resonance using the vibraphone-by playing with
dampening, pedaling, and varied attacks, we begin to hear
the permutations of the resonance from the vibraphone's
inner world . Roger Reynolds' Autumn Island examines the
marimba with a different approach-using ornaments and
silence, the piece embraces space and fragmented musical
gestures to construct larger musical phrases. The challenges
posed in lnouk Demers' Desastre concern the selection of
sounds and how these sounds cohere to make a whole. James
Wood's Rogosanti presents the opportunity to cement my
view on multi-percussion-more preciselY, how to construct and
embody a percussion setup. Building a brand-new instrument
with each multi-percussion work presents a window of
opportunity to underscore the sound of a percussionist with the
considerations of aesthetics, instruments, and the performing
body. Each work creates a universe of its own. FinallY, Chris
Mercer's Concerto Chamber answers the challenges posed
by Demers and Wood with a post-percussion proposition,
using a prepared guitar as a percussion instrument! Its
unassuming elegance and potential as a percussion source
opens our imagination for future directions. - Aiyun Huang
