== Program Notes ==
cobot was composed in Spring 2023 at the request of Erin Rybinski, for her senior recital at OSU. Erin asked me to write something centered around the xylophone, and this concepts fit perfectly with my research interests geared towards expanding the literature available for this instrument in both solo and ensemble settings. I wanted to explore dense “power chords” that might be possible from a single xylophone, so all players utilize four mallets throughout, covering the entire range of the keyboard. Conceptually, I was picturing industrial, factory-inspired imagery, and the visual result of the piece is somewhat akin to a working assembly line, with each player moving in synchronicity with choreographed motions. The title, cobot, is drawn from the word “collaborative robot”, which is a robot intended for direct human-robot interaction within a shared space, or where humans and robots are in close proximity.<ref>https://www.whirlygigscollective.com/susan-powell</ref>
