Program Notes
Triptych Boom features a snare soloist backed by three multi-percussionists. The snare drummer is presented with a continually changing combination of sticks, brushes, and hands while exploring a number of creative techniques in which the drum is played. The accompaniment parts are equally intriguing, as the percussionists are called on to manage multiple instruments, sticks, mallets, and hand techniques. Several moments have been crafted where clever interplay occurs between all players.
The result is a blend of subtlety, groove, color, and all-around originality.
