- Program Notes:
Cloud Folk (2017) John Psathas Cloud Folk was written at the invitation of Michael Burritt for the Eastman Percussion Ensemble. It was the recipient of the 2017 John Beck Composition Prize with the generous support of Ann Carol and Paul S. Goldberg, the Eastman School of Music Percussion Department, Michael Burritt, Kathleen Holt and Stephen Lurie, and Ruth and Bill Cahn.
The Cloud Folk are (imaginary) visitors to earth, invisibly parked in our upper atmosphere, observing 21st century human behavior. I’d imag- ined an arrival driven by optimism, intense curiosity, and excitement; followed quickly by incomprehension, shock, and the hastiest possible departure (back into a wondrous universe teeming with life). With no contact made, in fact avoided at all costs, we were never aware we’d been visited. The music loosely follows this narrative.

Serious props to that drum set player that part is a lot harder than it sounds
Paulo Zambarano if you like that, my school went to WGI finals with that in our show. The show’s in my channel. (I’m the drumset player too)
Incredible playing. That floor Tom part is crazy as well as the timpani pedaling at the end. Beautifully played!
I want to play this piece. Looks amazing. I enjoy a challenge.
Beautiful composition, beautiful execution.
Great sound, great performance, great music, what a treat.

i had a friend in my college studio that played the timpani part on a set without tuning gauges cause the place we went to provided them but they didnt hace any. On the fucking fly too, barely 15 minutes of practice.
