Borrow or Rob

Devloped as part of a commission with Black Swamp Percussion in honor of the 20th anniversary of their Multisonic Snare drum System, Borrow or Rob is a piece for solo snare and electronics. The soundscape created on the electronic platform begins with an off kilter ostinato pattern that allows the performer to play within the space. As the piece progresses, the snare performer is called upon to provide different sounds and tonal options. There are multiple times that different snare configurates are called upon in the piece.
