It utilizes the full range of the instrument to explore shimmering highs and resonant lows. Expressive rubato passages create a sense of push and pull, evoking the ebb and flow of ocean waves. It captures the peaceful and endless expanse of the ocean horizon while offering a reflective and accessible piece for both the performer and audience.

Multiple Percussion Solo

Echoes of the Red Planet is a dynamic percussion ensemble work inspired by the mysterious forces of space and the shifting patterns of sound and motion. It features driving rhythms and layered soundscapes, inviting performers and listeners alike into its vibrant, interstellar world.
The piece opens and closes with explosive energy, framing a drifting, ethereal middle section filled with nuance and texture. Varying time signatures create a sense of instability and forward motion, mirroring gravity’s distorted pull.
Drawing on cosmic imagery and modern harmonic colors, Echoes of the Red Planet invites listeners to imagine forces that are steady yet fragmented, heavy yet weightless, familiar yet mysterious.

Echoes of the Red Planet was commissioned by Shane Mathews and the Licking Heights Middle School Percussion Ensemble for their performance at the 2026 OMEA Conference in Columbus, OH.
