Trio for Two Flutes and Marimba

The idea for the work arose after hearing a beautiful work by Gordon Stout, which also utilized two flutes with percussion instruments. The three involved instruments do not necessarily function as a trio, but more of a duo, with the two flutes combining to achieve what is possible on just one marimba. The opening and closing sections are meant to be primarily groove-based and dissonant, while the middle section is more lyrical and nostalgic. Otherwise, the work carries no programmatic elements and is simply music for the sake of music.
