Description
Backpacker by Michael Aukofer is a rondo for multi-percussion solo. The title came about through the minimal and small instrumentation required. This setup can be transported in a backpack and a few hands - one everything rack mounted on a cymbal stand can hold all of the instruments required for this work. This piece was commissioned and inspired by Dr. Brad Meyer.
