Program Notes Involution utilizes repetitive rhythmic layering to create a sensation of “turning in” on itself. The layered ostinati weave in and around each other, as well as over the bar lines, to create elaborate textures and an eclectic auditory terrain. The combination of asymmetrical phrasing and unorthodox tonality will challenge the listener’s sense of time, rhythm, texture, and personal existence within the cosmos.
Performance Notes It is very important that every player be aware of how his/her part lines up vertically with the other parts. The layered rhythms will demand a high degree of listening prowess and awareness of timing for the whole ensemble to play accurately. Each percussion setup should be configured ergonomically in order to minimize unnecessary movement. Two pairs of stacked cymbals are called for. This simply means two cymbals stacked on top of each other on a cymbal stand. The stacks create a “trashy“ texture that is utilized sporadically throughout the piece. The kinds of cymbals used in each stack are up to the discretion of the ensemble. Try experimenting with different sounds in each stack until you have achieved the desired effect.
