Sparse, unsettling, tense and lonely. Beautifully imagined!

The prison all want to attend so they can emerge masters of zen meditation, and flex their new super cool mind over matter capabilities... was my thought until I read the description. Those poor souls...

I love these phases and their transitions. Here's to hoping the percussionists never went mad with the representation!!

A fascinating contemplative piece with some lovely resonant timbers.

I’m done with this game I won’t keep playing
The fire is gone it’s not worth staying
Fighting battles I don’t believe in
What if peace is just not needing?

I’m done standing my ground through it all
But a little longer and I might (just) fall
The chains I once wore are giving in
Now the weight of this burden is lifting

I’m done with the noise, the need to please
I let go of those who brought me no peace
No more fake love I’m done with the act
I’ve found my truth and there’s no going back

Walls are coming down tonight
I let (it) go I'm done with the fight
I’m breaking free, I’m breaking free
This is who I'm meant to be

I'm Done

PROGRAM NOTES
Prison Cell is a ten-minute percussion duet that musically, theatrically and symbolically represents a prison cell. The work centers around variations of a traditional, tonal theme and an original, more dissonant theme. The original theme and its variations are taken from a tone row built on the scale degree one half step above the tonal theme. This tonal theme is continuously alluded to through modulations, variations, chromaticism and dense, slowly evolving rhythmic and chordal structures. When the central, tonal theme is finally introduced, it is never completed, creating tension that is prolonged through the second half of the piece. The tonal theme eventually becomes immersed in the tone row and gradually fused into the original theme. The mutated, skeletal rhythmic motive of the tonal theme is all that remains.

The percussionist inside the set-up represents a prisoner. The percussionist outside the set-up plays two roles: when walking behind, this player represents the oppression of the cell; when walking in front, the player represents influences on the cell by outside forces such as prison guards. The tubular chimes represent the bars of a cell.
