Pulsar

Francisco Perez

Medium-Advanced Snare drum solo

Instrumentation: Snare drum (with or without snares), Amplification system (for included audio accompaniment)

In astrophysics, a “pulsar” is a highly magnetized neutron star which can rotate between 7,000 and 40,000 times per minute. In the world of Tapspace however, Pulsar is a groovy, polyrhythmic snare solo composed by Francisco Perez. This piece, inspired by Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Cosmos as well as the rhythmic style of Mike McIntosh (a fellow Tapspace artist), is performed alongside a beautifully atmospheric soundscape, which was inspired by the electronic music group Moderat.

Pulsar comes with a full, bound score and includes the audio accompaniment tracks as well a full reference recording of the piece.
