Beginning with delicate textures that evoke the careful calibration of gears and springs, the piece gradually develops into a mixed meter groove-driven musical portrait of a mechanism coming to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eScored for steel pans, keyboard percussion, timpani, drumset, and a wide variety of auxiliary percussion, the work offers performers a colorful palette of sounds that combine to create a constantly evolving musical landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAlthough substantial in size, the piece is written with developing performers in mind and emphasizes the importance of each individual part within the larger ensemble. As the composer notes, the work reflects a central idea shared by both music and mechanics: every component, no matter how small, plays an essential role in making the whole function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis piece ships as a fully bound score.
