A consortium of 45 Soloists, ensembles, and universities commissioned Sekhon to compose a new work: Passageways for Solo Steel Drum and Percussion Ensemble. Representing nineteen U.S. states, the consortium consisting of 44 members have collectively commissioned a new work to be premiered around the United States. This work Passageways is scored for solo steel drum and percussion ensemble and is the most recent installment in his series of works for soloist and percussion orchestra. The consortium was organized by percussionist Dave Gerhart and the world premiere took place March 28, 2015 by the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestras Percussion Ensemble, Ben Wahlund, director, and soloist Dave Gerhart at the Logan Center for the Arts in Chicago, IL.

Passageways

Steel Pan Ensemble

Gradient has received nearly 100 performances around the world and has been commercially released on three albums. This work is scored for saxophone and piano and these instruments play and equal role throughout the work. This work is primarily focused on the spectrum of sound created by the two of these instruments together. Extended techniques are employed in order to explore a common ground between the saxophone and piano. Gradient explores two different spectra: one that has the saxophone and piano on opposite ends with characteristics of both instruments intersecting in the middle, and another spectrum that contains all of the sounds from both of these instruments with similar sounds from each instrument occupying the same area of the spectrum. While this piece is an exploration of sound, the compositional approach is a process-oriented one that deals with the evolution of, and relationship between, pitch and rhythmic material.
