Total duration is variable 5:45-6:45+.

Notes

"Composition #362" for two or more percussionists, each with three woodblocks, one floor tom, one towel, one “idiomatic” sounding mallet, and one contrasting implement of any kind.

The composition was inspired by a solo drum set and electronics performance by Sean Hamilton.

Despite how the composition may sound, it is entirely composed with elements of variability and performer choice, no real improvisation. The compositional goal being to compose something that sounds improvised but is not, using a combination of traditional and text notation to provide exact musical materials and parametric controls, with options for performer choice. The duration is variable, approximately 5:45-6:45+. Recorded by the quartet of Filament (DeLane Doyle & Aaron Gochberg), Shilo Stroman, and Ron Coulter.
