Postcard, a performance from Terroir.001: Starter (05.04.2017)

Composed and performed by Sean Hamilton (www.seanhamiltonmusic.com)

Program Notes:
"Postcard is a composition for solo snare drum and electronics that explores the coexistence of acoustic and electronic timbres. Throughout the piece, the performer cues several electronic events that serve as an extension of the acoustic snare drum sounds, synthesizing the timbres into one unique mix. "

Regeneration, a performance from Terroir.001: Starter (05.04.2017).

Composed by Baljinder Sekhon (www.sekhonmusic.com)
Performed by Zachary Hale, steel pan

Program Notes:
"In Regeneration I was interested in composing a piece which unfolds in the same way the sound of the steel drum slowly unfolded, emerged, and became imbedded in the society of Trinidad and Tobago. I spent several years performing traditional music from the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. I was fascinated by the instrument and the way in which it came into existence. After countless hours of hammering and beating a forty-five-gallon oil drum, bright and resonant tones begin to emerge from the noise. This is not unlike the harmony that began to emerge in Trinidad after World War II. Regeneration becomes more resonant and clear as the piece moves forward. All of the rhythms in this piece are based off of the traditional “brake patterns” found in the steel band music of Trinidad; Other than using those traditional rhythms this piece only alludes briefly to the traditional style and character of the music of Trinidad. This work was composed in 2005 at the Eastman Computer Music Center in Rochester, NY."
