About

Revolutionary Movements?(2015-16)?for five instruments (percussion, keyboard, three melody instruments, two of which must be able to play glissandi); four movements, each about 5 minutes long, which may be played in any order, the first one repeated at the end to make a complete sequence of five movements:

Gyroscope
Reel
Spindrift
The Wheel of Fortune

Premiered by the Brenda Faegre Edge Ensemble, Splendor, Amsterdam, 17 May 2017. Each movement has some sort of variable element: in ?Gyroscope?, two of the players engage in competitive improvising; in ?Spindrift? timing is determined by a series of sustained actions ? grinding, pouring, tearing, etc ? performed by the percussionist. This music began in the summer of 2015 in a dream in which notated figures seemed to be moving vertically past collections of pitches ? a sort of pinball score; that idea has survived, although in a more worked-out form, in ?Reel? and ?The Wheel of Fortune?.
