Transmission

Looking for a more discrete approach in complexity and artistic delivery while still delivering a powerful musical statement. This original composition for advanced front ensemble percussion tests control and serious dynamic ability and contrast throughout the ensemble. This piece achieves a much darker, yet warmer sound with soft mallets across the board and a felt-hammered piano sound (which can be heard in the beginning).
