Echo Funk

What happens when you mix two parts First Construction in Metal by Cage, three parts Bonham by Rouse, a dash of industrial spice, and a heaping dose of Vinnie Colaiuta-style groove? You get Jonathan Ovalle's raucous and exciting new work Echo Funk. Using a creative array of mostly drums and metal instruments, the piece features a drumset soloist backed by eight multi-percussionists. Throughout the work, various echo motifs are used as defining elements while producing varying degrees of polyrhythmic tension and conversational activity between the drumset soloist and the eight percussionists. This piece will blow the doors off your next percussion ensemble concert!
