InD (2018), for solo snare drum + electronics
Premiered in Prague on May 10, 2018. Composed & performed by Kyle Brenn.

Program Notes: This short piece is my first foray into electroacoustic composition. I wanted to focus on the specific spectral properties of the snare drum itself, and so each section of the piece centers around a different "harmonic polyrhythm" - a rhythmic pattern that matches an individual harmonic ratio of the overtone series present within the drum. I used improvisation as a jumping-off point for some of the motivic development. The piece has very little to do with Terry Riley's famous work with a similar title, but I do like writing in D. 

Special thanks to Michal Rataj & Aron Kobayashi Ritch for their guidance and help with mixing!
