Agnosthesia, by Michael Calamas
Originally envisioned as a solo work with electronic track, this percussion chamber piece orchestrates fascinating electronic timbres into marimbas, vibraphones, and multi-percussion parts. The composition is centered around an augmented chord which passes around the ensemble throughout. From The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, the word Agnosthesia is defined as “the state of not knowing how you really feel about something.”
Through the use of the augmented chord and a section of the piece which goes through several modulations within a short amount of time, one feels as through they’re searching for grounding.

Voltage by William Newton

"I wrote Voltage during my first year of teaching the drumline at Shenandoah University. The goal was to create a high-energy, electrifying way to start the pregame show/football game. When performing this, I highly recommend creating vocals to help enhance the experience of this cadence for the football crowds!" www.wildlightpublications.com/products/voltage-by-william-newton Follow Wildlight ...

“Apollo is a remnant of my time during the beginning of COVID-19. Not being able to express myself through performing or practicing, led me to pursue composition more seriously, with this piece being one of the first projects to come to fruition. This piece was originally conceived as a quartet with all four members utilizing four mallets. After a long series of discussions with some of my coll...

Waterways is a reflection of my first year teaching at River Bluff High School - and my first year teaching in general. This piece illustrates the joy and excitement of teaching that I have experienced, but also the challenges that come along with it. Waterways begins with a simple melody that continues to add layer after layer, depicting a sense of hope and intimidation that I felt starting th...
Until Flesh is Torn From Bone, by Brant Blackard

Until Flesh is Torn From Bone, by Brant Blackard This piece is directly influenced by one of my favorite styles of music: death metal. I’ve always been attracted by the contradiction of a bunch of sweaty dudes screaming about death who are also some of the most technically accomplished musicians I’ve ever heard. I’ve attempted to explore several aspects of this music which I adore: the speed an...

Ends to a Mend, by JaRon Brown Multi percussion solo electronics Ends to a Mend is an open love letter to the interlocking and complexities of understanding friendships . It boundlessly skips to the rhythm and voices of people who speak about the concept of friendship, which is then woven into the electronic fabric of this solo piece itself. It is heavily nostalgic ridden, full of spirited vibr...

You know the one the heroes find themselves pursued by forces that seem bigger and stronger than them, but they persevere because they know that their fight is just.

This piece was inspired by Rebecca Sugar's Cartoon Network show "Steven Universe" and it illustrates the artform and sacred dance of gem fusion. These gem sprites collide beautifully to form even bigger and more powerful...
Cross the Street, Immediately, by Brant Blackard
Переглядів 1,4 тис.3 роки тому
"Cross the Street, Immediately was written in 2018 in Rochester, New York. The title refers to the electric street- crossing sounds heard in the city. The distorted, repeating sounds blare out of old speakers as five beats of mechanical 16th notes, followed by one beat of rest. This unnerving pattern always struck me as particularly brutal. Having grown up playing drums in various metal bands, ...
