Stormbringer, for one percussion player, was written in May of 2004. While this work uses a relatively small number of mostly un-pitched instruments (2 Bongos, 3 Congas, Djembe, Bass Drum, and Crotales) it is exists within a very carefully planned architecture that is propelled by developmental activity in parameters other than pitch. The piece is constructed of expanding and contracting symmetrical collections of compound rhythms dictated by numerological preferences that form longer rhythmic talas that often replicate their symmetries on two or three isomorphic levels. The few appearances of the Crotales indicate large formal divisions and the structures of the phrase shapes within. While there are numerous intellectual structures that exist in this work it is a primal, primitive, brutal, and momentarily serene occurrence, and is intended too be enjoyed as an emotional prior to intellectual expression.
