Program Notes

A Mao is a rhythmic composition that thoroughly explores the complexities of syncopations. The electronic sounds are both acoustic percussion instruments as well as synthesized tones. These sounds provide a wonderful counterplay to the marimba line, producing a groove and pulse for which the marimba's rhythms play with and against. The overall harmonic progression also adds to the tension as he explores the tonal flavors of several scales and modes throughout the piece. Overall the audience will enjoy a fun exploration of rhythm and groove.
