Echo Funk by Jonathan Ovalle for solo drumset and percussion octet. Using a creative array of mostly drums and metal instruments (often found objects), the piece features a drumset soloist backed by eight multi-percussionists. Throughout the work, various "echo" motifs are used as a defining element while producing varying degrees of polyrhythmic tension and conversational activity between the drumset soloist and the eight percussionists.Instrumentation:Solo DrumsetPercussion 1 - concert bass drum, high pitch resonant metal, large cowbellPercussion 2 - floor tom, brake drum, large China cymbal, large coffee canPercussion 3 - 2 snare drums, bongos, low pitch semi-resonant metal, 2 opera gongsPercussion 4 - 4 high concert toms, higher "trashy" metal, 2 woodblocksPercussion 5 - 4 low concert toms, lower "trashy" metal, 2 woodblocksPercussion 6 - timbales, 2 congas, high pitch semi-resonant metal, 2 cookie tinsPercussion 7 - very small snare drum (firecracker), brake drum, small China cymbalPercussion 8 - kick drum, low pitch resonant metal Show more
