Tension:Release

Written for the Sō Percussion Summer Institute
Materials
Tension:Release is a three-minute work for percussion quartet, written for the Sō Percussion Summer Institute and premiered at Princeton University, with subsequent performances at the SPLICE Institute and Small World Coffee. The piece is a tight study in the gestural mechanics of its title — the relaxation never arrives where it would be expected to, and where it does arrive, it does not last long.
