Under the Rainbow is my interpretation of the famous melody from "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in a minor mode. Under the Rainbow made it's performance debut this fall at the 2016 Percussive Arts Society International Convention with Richland High School. Their performance inspired me to continue working on this piece and lead to the final product I am at now. This version will makes it premier with the UNL Percussion Ensemble in April of this year.

Under the Rainbow (Percussion Orchestra)

Here's a quick warm-up I wrote for front ensemble based off of Hans Zimmer's piece featured at the end of Inception.

Time (Front Ensemble Warm-up)

Starts of a new vibe+tape solo. I've been wanting to write something where the track 'alters' the sound of the instrument. The solo line is the unaltered vibraphone voice.

Vibe+Tape (Early Works)

New track I've worked on the last week. Very satisfied with how this turned out. Still having this idealistic view where I make a small EP of my electronic music......

Converge

Last track I posted with a little of the transition I've made into the next one...much more to go.

Converge - Diverge (rough draft)

"Ambient Study #1: Wagon Train Lake" is the first in a multi-media series of ambient tracks and videos that are based off of locations in Nebraska.

Ambient Study #1: Wagon Train Lake

Ambient Study #2: Platte

#2 is based on a sunset I witnessed over the Platte River close to Gretna (as pictured). I decided to record the sounds around me as well as a basis for the soundscape in this track. You can view the video here:

Ambient Study #2: Platte

...may the shadow of the moon
Performed by Korry Friend
Email jackkloecker10@gmail.com to purchase

Program Notes:
The title …may the shadow of the moon derives directly from an ABC News coverage of the North American eclipse in February of 1979, in which anchor Frank Reynolds says "Not until Aug. 21, 2017, will another eclipse be visible from North America. That's 38 years from now. May the shadow of the moon fall on a world at peace.” As August 21st, 2017 approached this clip resurfaced on the internet and started to resonate with me, especially on the day of the eclipse. As the moon completely overtook the sun that day I experienced a personal moment of peace. The altered color-scheme of the landscape, birds chirping out of turn, the city lights illuminating a previously sun-lit horizon. All of these events lead to somewhat of a sensory overload. 

In the audio track, I wanted to combine two contrasting styles of electronic music together; ambient electronic music inspired by artists such as Nils Frahm and Olafur Arnalds, and drum and bass music inspired by artists such as Aphex Twin and B-Complex. By combining these two styles, I attempted to mimic two celestial bodies ‘merging’ during the eclipse. The snare drum part acts as a connecting point between the two styles of music. I strived to merge the snare drum into the track as a texture at parts, but also wanted to showcase rudimental elements as well. 

…may the shadow of the moon was commissioned by a consortium of percussionists in the fall of 2017 including Korry Friend (organizer), Lucas Allen, Ben Haiman, Oliver Molina, Erik Schmidt, Brandon West, and Alex Woodside.
