Perched - duet for Drum Set & Multiple-Percussion

Stanton Moore, Drum Set 
Brett William Dietz, Percussion

Notes from the score: Perched upon each of our shoulders are the constant inner conversations of what is right vs. wrong, self-doubt vs. self-confidence, worry vs. bravery, etc… It can be paralyzing to listen too much, but also reckless to not listen at all. In writing Perched, I sought to place each performer on their (literal) throne behind a comfort zone of instruments, and compose a work that was song-like, dynamic, fun, and a break from all the mental chatter that can distract us from living this life to it’s fullest potential.

Perched was commissioned by Brett William Dietz and is dedicated to Brett and Stanton Moore.
