King Crimson has long been a favorite progressive rock group of mine, and their Discipline album from 1981 features two songs, Discipline and Indiscipline, which utilize polymetrical and minimalist material throughout.  NO DISCIPLINE was composed as a ‘tip o’the hat’ to these two pieces (and indeed Frippertronics), and named after an embarrassingly common tenet of my play/work life, that of having a plan and then… well….. wandering away from it….  The work is a virtuosic piece for a soloist who must maintain independent lines between each hand, while also playing a Brufordesque kick bass drum part with one foot.  (Of course, the piece can also be performed by two players on one marimba as well……

commissioned by and dedicated to the most excellent composer/percussionist Alex Williams
