Crackhead

This intense piece for solo piano and percussion quartet is a tour-de-force that doesn’t give you a chance to breathe. The piano part incorporates polyrhythms between the hands throughout the piece, while the percussionists play ostinati in the background. Great opportunity to bring in a phenomenal pianist as a guest artist with your percussion ensemble.
