Notes

"Ratchet Musik #3 (concentration)" is scored for one or more ratchet players. The ratchets may be of any type (wooden, the metal framed wood-tongue musical type, plastic or metal toys/party noise makers, or the metal hand-tool type). If performed as a solo the ratchet may be amplified to blend with the environmental sounds if outdoors, or extremely loud if indoors. The goal of this composition was to create complex rhythmic textures in the simplest way possible.

Performances
