	== Program Notes ==		== Program Notes ==
			One of the most engaging aspects of music for me is rhythm. My fixation with numbers attracts me to complex rhythms with intricate counting while my history with rock music draws me toward the physical energy of drumming and popular beats. I am especially attracted to music in which I become so engaged by the rhythm that a feeling of clarity or freedom emerges. In Slender Beams I picture the mental state of the performer becoming so intensely focused on counting, changing meters and manipulating themes that it converges into a beam, and picture the traveling of that beam through space as representing the feeling of freedom. Thus the full title, as printed in the score, reads "Focusing your awareness into . . . Slender Beams of Solid Rhythm."

			The piece is formed around three of these journeys into focused awareness, each based on an obsessive rhythmic treatment of a few short motives: the opening passage on a single drum, a central section for maracas, and the closing passage for two drums. The driving rhythms and minimal instrumentation of these sections are contrasted with spacious, abstract, non-metered interludes using a wide variety of exotic timbres.<ref>http://www.davehollinden.com/cd_slenderbeams.html</ref>


			<i>Notes on the Setup</i><br>
			Take care to make your setup as compact as possible. The four tom-toms should be right next to each other. Rather than leave space between the toms for the cowbells, raise the cowbells a bit and position them slightly over the top of the toms. The brake drum, bell plate, pipe, tambourine, and guiro should be as close together as possible on a small table next to the highest tom. Similarly, the log drum, wood blocks and temple blocks should be as close together as possible on a small table next to the lowest tom. Curve the whole setup in an arc so that you can reach the lowest and highest instruments simultaneously, such as when you need to play the guiro and log drum together in the first Ritualistic section (page 3, line 6). Place the bass drum to the left of the log drum, and place the cymbal and opera gong within reach as desired. (Although I recommend small tables, there may be stands that work just as well.)<ref>http://www.davehollinden.com/slender.html</ref>
