Program Notes

Captured by Industry by Brett William Dietz is a percussion ensemble work for sixteen players that delivers a cinematic and dramatic soundscape inspired by the modern industrial age. Dietz layers keyboard percussion, piano, timpani, and a wide array of metallic timbres—many performed with bows—to evoke a dystopian sense of machinery, power, and control. Influenced by film composers such as Hans Zimmer, the music balances intensity and texture with moments of eerie calm. A striking choice for advanced university or professional ensembles looking for a bold, thought-provoking statement piece.
