Black (W)Hole (Perc Ens 6-10+)

Black (W)Hole is an extraterrestrial introduction to the whole tone scale. Instruments weave in and out of different rhythmic layers that create a very “spacious” and eerie feel. Players experiment with alternate uses of their implementations to create a wide range of colors. The piece comes to a climax with a full cinematic invasion!
