The lotus flower is commonly seen in many Asian cultures. It is traditionally seen as a symbol of perfection, beauty and purity. Lotus root is also a popular vegetable used in many Asian cuisines. Adam Tan's inspiration for Lotus comes mainly from the nature of the lotus flower. It is able to grow beautifully despite its muddy and undesirable origins. The flower is able to float over the surfac...

"March," written by Elliot Carter around 1966, is one work out of his collection entitled “Eight Pieces for Four Timpani.” Carter’s intention with this collection of etudes was to create studies for tempo modulation and other rhythmic compositional techniques. This piece, in particular, is a contrapuntal piece that creates an independent melody in the right hand using a different tempo and stic...

"The Space Between Us All" is an original solo for tabla and accompanied backing track of ambient guitar drones, and sitar. This composition is inspired by the works of the legendary George Harrison, lead guitarist for the classic rock band, The Beatles. In 1966, Harrison ventured on a trip to India where he studied Sitar under instructor Ravi Shankar and delved into the beliefs of Hinduism. Th...

This piece was inspired by the imaginative aspects of a 20th-century sideshow circus, and the performing acts that would captivate an audience. The piece s...

"Smile" was composed in 1936 as the love theme for Charlie Chaplin’s acclaimed final silent movie Modern Times. (Even though the characters never spoke, earning the movie its “silent” moniker, there were sound effects and a score.) Some two decades later John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added lyrics to Chaplin’s melody, and in 1954 “Smile”, sung by Nat King Cole on Capitol records, landed a spo...

"Kím" is an orchestral snare drum solo written by Icelandic composer Áskell Másson in 2001. It was commissioned and premiered by Danish percussionist Gert Mortensen. Kím means “germ” or “embryo”, representing the idea of something simple that grows and takes on new forms, similar to a plant. The piece exemplifies a constant form pattern of sequential 3/8, 7/8, and 11/8 time signatures, which re...

A piece for any ensemble of instruments.

A duet for two players with sticks. Featuring Stanley Cascone and Elijah Jones.

I apologize for the partial video as well as the camera shakiness. My go pro fell off my head at the end of the ballad and turned off right before the closer, and this show just required a lot of head motion and performance energy that I didn't let up for this run! :)
