Program Notes
Sleepless was composed for a performance tour of The People’s Republic of China with Iowa Percussion in the summer of 2006. It is dedicated to my friend and professor of percussion at the China Conservatory in Beijing, Jiao Shan Lin. Sleepless is a groove-oriented piece that combines Western percussion instruments such as vibraphone, marimba, glockenspiel and xylophone with traditional Chinese drums and cymbals. The music also features elements of Western and Chinese musical styles. When I compose, much of the work is done in my head — connecting ideas, developing themes, etc. Sometimes I will play around with ideas on different instruments and collect them in a notebook. The main theme of Sleepless came from an improvisation I had done many years earlier with Nashville friends and percussionists Tom Roady and Roy “Futureman” Wooten. So, you wait and wait until the music is fully (or mostly) formed, and when the process is complete you have no choice but to immediately sit down and get it all down on paper (or computer). As the deadline for the tour loomed I finally got the inspiration for this piece late one summer evening. After working through the night I was putting on the finishing touches at about 9:00 a.m. — symbolized by the last nine notes of the piece - and inspirin the title Sleepless.
