Waves of Distress

J. Gadsden created the Waves of Distress melody in June of 2018 which is meant to resemble an unbearable and sometimes debilitating mix between waves of depression and an unprovoked anxiety attack. This piece is written in a 6/8 syncopation melody, which conveys the wave-like rhythm. The composition opens up with a brief ostinato transitioning to a hauntingly beautiful melody played by the lower and higher pitched winds and an aggressive percussive rhythm to accompany the winds. Which will be sure to highlight your band's performance!
