buzzed

Duo for pitched percussion and vibe/kick/snare
7.5 minutes

Program note:
A duo for open instrumentation (pitched) and prepared vibraphone (with snare and pedal kick), buzzed explores the multiple meanings of its title. The relentlessly collapsing rhythmic groupings ticked off by the snare keep both audience and performers on the knife’s edge, the melodic cell just glitchy enough to prevent our gaining solid gound while we race towards the finish. buzzed is approximately 7.5 minutes in duration. Dedicated to Mark Eichenberger.
