Program Notes

Drum-e Piece No. 2 consists of two stand-up drum sets on either side of the stage. With the set-up of the two drum sets being far apart, this gives the audience an engaging experience by watching the lines move between the two players. The splitting of rhythmic lines between the two players is a prevailing theme throughout the piece. The piece is divided into four sections: an introductory section which incorporates many splits and fast rhythmic passages, a second section which contrast the beginning by incorporating softer rhythmic phrases, a third section which resembles a street beat while incorporating split elements found in the beginning of the work, and the final section which returns to material found in the first section while gradually building to the end.
