about

In the piece "Two Movements for Vibraphone Trio" all three players explore different meters while also remaining linked by a single constant idea. In the first movement, Perception, the constant is the relentless ‘A’, which all three performers strike in unison. While remaining linked by the ‘A’, each player ventures into a different meter and therefore perceives the resulting composite melody differently. The panned arrangement of the three vibraphones also gives each audience member a different perception of the melody depending upon where they are seated. As the steady rhythm of the ‘A’ begins to fluctuate, the performers find a new constant by playing the previously staggered melody in unison. In the second movement, Headrush, the trio shares a constant four note pattern; however, they all enter in different meters. As the performers play through their respective cycles they evolve together harmonically, eventually coming full circle before moving on. The players then modulate metrically to an augmented and harmonized version of the opening four note pattern. A further augmented form of the pattern emerges as the constant in the low register before the players diverge for the climax. One by one the performers begin playing phrases of seven, ultimately creating a new composite phrase of seven at the peak. Slowly the patterns deteriorate until the constants from both the first and second movements are played by all three performers in unison. --Nicolas Doktor
