Program Notes
HEAVY BINARY is comprised of four movements influenced by different genres of heavy metal music. The "binary" aspect refers to the use of contrasting striking implements in each movement:
I. Impulse: open hand & nylon brush
II. KC: timpani mallet, drumstick, crotale
III. Post: finger cymbal & drumstick
IV. Breakdown: wire brush & drumstick
...This challenging work can be performed as a full suite or as separate solos. It would work very well as a recital piece. “Heavy Binary” is sure to capture the attention of both performer and audience.
