Techno-Pop (Perc Ens 7)

Inspired by techno music, a type of electronic dance music developed in the 80s, Techno-Pop explores the sounds of the era. This is a very rhythmic composition that uses a variety of syncopated 16th note patterns throughout. A percussion break section leads into a very strong ending.
